I've head vapour injection systems aren't as good... Are they about $4-5K? I want a turbo but with petrol prices its inevitable that they're gonna drop in value, like all big cars, significantly probably very soon...My problem is - do I buy one, and use it for 3 years then sell it for 60% of what I paid? Or do I buy one and convert it with a direct injection LPG system? Or Do I buy something like and XR8 and then convert that due to the possibe cheaper conversion and cheaper tune costs? Or get something like a BA fairmont and put that on gas?I'm really struggling as of what to do...I really want a turbo - so bad, but my head says don't be stupid...But I need a new car and I want to enjoy it...So as you can see, I'm really confused, so any info on LPG direct injection would be really appreciated!Thanks,Dan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47738-xr6t-on-gas-is-it-viable-v6v8/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a JTG system and only available from Australian LPG Warehouse and it's accredited installers.It's new so there is only a limited number of fitters and parts.They fitted it to a XR6T several weeks back, it made an extra 18 rwkw with no other changes made to the car. It only uses approx 5% more gas than petrol to do the same distance Edited 18/07/08 12:38 PM by ratter Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47738-xr6t-on-gas-is-it-viable-v6v8/#findComment-707481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
