Your will actually gain performance when running on dedicated LPG becuase the octane of LPG is way higher than Petrol (110 Octane), the reason LPG cars don't run that well, is the have to be detuned so they can run on both fuels.

Very interesting, 110RON! and cheap.
Surely there must be a way around the detuning issue,
Probably far too complex for me to understand

Can you post details of who did the conversion.
I have been looking for someone to do mine for months but every supplier seems unwilling to convert a turbo.
