I think it was posted as a reference, not an exact "this is it" photo.

with a gas research carby you can run dual fuel if its EFI already, it has long shafts so TPS etc can be mounted and run.

From memory, last time someone asked about it, Joel (PGS) recommended the 400 CFM unit.

Anyways, he's the bloke to speak to about it. He knows GR better than anyone else.

Yep 400 or 440 if you are going fully sik! Duel fuel requires EFI with GRA. The AXT kit I have seen uses a TO3 Garrett, it is quite small and suitable for modest increases, you would be wise to consider upgrading the turbo to something larger. There is no simple "buy this " answer in my opinion, you need a realistic budget and power output goal. Every increase in power means more cost, multiple LPG lines, high output ignition, intercooling, valve springs.....engine overhaul, depends what you want and what you want to spend. You can make from 150 to 300+ rwkW.
