Mate, if you buy one, I'll install it free for you. I did mine, it's very easy...

Thanks mate. They are pretty easy, I only got the quote cause I was talking to the mechanic when I dropped it off to get new gas injectors in.

Yeah, at that price you can't let it go. Side note, LPG is starting to drop on this side of Brisbane @ 89.9 now.

I tasked Ian mcfarlaine here in toowoomba as to why the price of LPG jumped 30cpl in December last year and he replied it was because of the European winter?!? What a crock of hogs wallop. Good opportunity for the government to take a gouge out of us with a higher exise.

The setup is great but make sure you periodically check it as I emptied mine over a weekend. Internals were nice and clean though and definitely won't have an issue with vsr lol. The instructions show you the adjustment process and you can infinitely change it with the adjustment screw.

LPG is a by product of making petrol, they hike up the price cause they can. The price of oil does go up and down, but we only ever see it on the up side. Apparently the price is on the way down. I'll believe it when I see it.

Hi gent's any advise on whats the bast Vac line to tap into on the TB48 ? Ive tapped into one of the lines on the drivers side on the middle as directed to do so by a mechanic but wondering if the line up top just before the split would be best for an even spread ? It runs under the throttle cables and is attached to a servo type thing? Would it be safe to tap into it ?

Thanks in advance.

I'll check where mine is tapped in the morning if nobody responds. I'm fairly sure it's on the drivers side (the tap that is).

Thanks Agronaught same line I have just cut into. Feeling a bit better now burn out valves etc was playing on my mind especially as it was just rebuilt by a dealership before I purchased it... I have the invoice they passed onto me and would be shattered if I had to cough that much $$ up for the same reason. Would rather spend it on mods :) I have giving it a good couple of good runs and don't know if its just my mind playing games but the engine sounds a little happier and smoother... again could just be me making things up :) next mission is to disconnect or disable the bloody sub tank light drives me bonkers at night... black electrical tape isn't going to cut it!!!
