Ok done some searching but no real helpful info on my questions.

I have acquired a 22r for a play truck I am building, I have also acquired a turbo for it.

Heres the questions.

I want to run straight gas and will be rebuilding the motor beforehand, is there anything I should do to it while rebuilding, different valves etc to better suit the gas??

Am I better off getting a full system from a gra etc or using the other style of kits??

Also I am a total novice to gas I have had dual fuel vehicles for work but other than driving them have no knowledge other than what I am picking up through reading threads.

I did 2 of these while with Gasresearch Performance Centre, they work well. Use quality valves and exhaust valve inserts, set the tappets two thou looser than std on the exhaust due to the extra heat and subsequent exhaust valve growth.
