The LPG special is going turbo - and the budget is very, very small.
Ebay is the source, cheap is the criterion.
So far I've got :
Manifold (paid £55 last year)
Turbo
Boost controller and oil feed/drain


I need to add a balance pipe to the reducer (DIY welding) and buy a BOV, pipes, and an intercooler.

Question for Those That Know These Things, can I use a turbodiesel intercooler such as this one?

If so, it's just possible I can keep the parts cost under £300!
Which would be nice...

Why don't you measure up your desired location for the intercooler and see?

I've used a large Volvo intercooler before, comes from something like a 960/940
