Mate my car is carbi and LPG...and no it may not go as hard as some here but I laugh for silly little head off when I fill up for 32c a litre and petrol is costing around 102c a litre...
LPG does work quite well with turbo apps
blow threw gas research gas carb works a treat and if you can fill with straight propane instead of car gas propane/butane mix better again
propane has a high actane rate around 130 I think
