    Afm

    I am led to believe only a Holden Dealer or someone with a TEC 2 can do this and then its just a matter of turning off via the ECU with the Tec2. So depends on wat dealers charge but I would be thinking 80 to 100 dollars just for the plug in and off just like error codes.

    Factory LPG - more engine noise?

    It slighty does, and does this more the longer it runs on LPG I reccomend you run a injector cleaner through the fuel and run 98 octane fuel for a day or so or more regulaly. Also run an oil flush every service and I use the GM oil 10w/30 from Holden after 7500ks change it and you will never...
