FYI: If you can hit the go peddle hard enough to get smoke out of pipe (diesel
smoke, not oil burning!) in a NA diesel, I don't think you want to add propane.

Think about it. If you have enough diesel injected that not all of it is
burning (smoke) that means you don't have enough air(oxygen). So, now you want
to inject another gas in there that will displace some air in the intake?

It just don't make sence to me! If you can make smoke, and want more power, you
want to get more oxygen in there.. IE maybe an NO2 bottle.. but only when you
are hammering it.. ( to clean up the smoke and get more power) anytime its
running smokeless its running lean, and you don't need more O2.

Just my .02 cents... :)

P.S. with a turbo you can get more O2 in there, so if you are not smokeing, add
some propane, but if you are already smoking, it won't be all that much help..

That's another reason to do it on the Rabbit as it NA (no turbo) and you need
all the power it can give which it no much.

Hi Tad,

Do not buy a system which injects BEFORE the turbo - otherwise you
could blow ya turbo to kingdom come!

Have a look at this Australian company's website for information on
post-turbo propane/LPG injection for diesel engines:
http://www.d-gas.com.au/

They are the only company in Australia to make a post-turbo LPG/Propane
injection system!
