Oh okay nah it's just got the normal fuel injectors and the gas thingy on the right hand side

Ok. I’d probably hazard a guess that the mixer needs a rebuild or replacement. Hardly worth it with current LPG prices leaving zero advantage over 91 ron.

Vapour and Gas injection doesn't actually backfire.

One of the biggest reasons why I went for vapour injection.
It.might just be your technique when starting it. You must keep your foot of the gas or else the starter will quit. Then when you turn the key again you'll get a backfire. Will also backfire if you give it a bootful off idle. You have to feather the throttle.
Main reason is the distance between the mixer and the throttle. It is better to have the volume below the throttle than above.

Have you changed DFI module? Another possibility is vacuum leaks. Those Sprint Gas mixers are pretty crappy design. You need to clamp it tight against the throttle with a big clamp then do up the screws.
