Hi , depending on the power output its completely do,able, you will need a valve lubrication system to work when its on gas though.The last scooby we did was a TT Legacy 285ish hp.
If you want more info give me a call on 01702 258286.
cheers Keith

all you need worry about is getting it mapped right like with everything and bit more tricky with gas as you have to warm up on petrol

lpg has a higher ron than any petrol so the LPG map is a direct copy of the petrol map in the car its being fitted to.

LPG don't requires remap,LPG usually have own ECU which is independent from OE Petrol ECU and LPG fitter will map LPG ECU for this etc.
