still got K&n filter in the garage, everytime i would have filter in the car would stall, but i just found on the LPG forums there is a gas balancer or something that needs air and you have to set it up properly otherwise car stalls.....

thanks for your help guys

I run a UniFilter on mine no probs.....

you should have a 1 inch diameter pipe that goes from the convertor to the airbox.
easy enough to get from a wreckers if yours is missing. there should be a attachment on the airbox that it goes into

Here's some before and after pics of my system which had the balance pipe missing. You'll get a glimpse of the bits you need to refit the balance pipe set up.

at the moment i have the filter in the box, now my questions is, i know that if i have no box for the pod, that means the balance pipe will not get enough air, can i move the pipe sumwea else under the hood or just make a longer pipe to get air from sumwea else....basically i just want to get rid of the air filter box and have a heat shield, but last time i did that the car kept stalling...
