Something to think about .
I been told that if your engine is 100hp on gas, you will have 85 hp on propane.
So plan on losing about 10hp on that 1600cc VW.

Really that sucks!!!! that isnt any good. is this proven?

ive got a buddy with rock crawler on propane and they said it made almost 600 hp on race gas but when they changed it over to propane that it only had a little over 500 hp at least thats what the guy he bought it from told him

I don't believe u lose power I have rode with 4 buggies on propane and they was mean... I have seen two converted and they acted more powerful after the propane...

Yes it will make less power on propan. But if you build 13:1 motor and run it on propane it will make about the same as a 9:1 on gas or more. Without the off roading carb problems

In all honesty, you can make a pair of webers or dellortos run perfect with a little time, knowledge and patience. My weber 44's dont miss a lick. ever. on any terrain. between jetting, and other cheap little mods on them, you can make yours run that good too. You couldnt pay me to put fuel injection on my air cooled either. Keep that in mind before you spend a ton of money on propane. I'm not knocking it, I just dont believe in it.

I agree webers do fine if tuned right. The propane is just easy, cheap, and don't get your oil dirty like gas. I run both it just depends on the aplaction both has it's place.

The best set up I ever ran was propane with a turbo.I was tired of 6 buck racing fuel.And at the end of the ride you can grill a steak the cooker and car all run the same fuel Ha Ha

AMEN Rockrockets,
After I rebuilt my propane carb CA125 I checked to see if the base would match up to my T1 DP intake and it bolts right up, I do have to waller out the T1 DP manifold to get it to match (more flow)... I ordered my off road exhaust the other day which will be modified for my t25 turbo... Thanks VWTravis I think I will post our PM conversation on here if you don't mind....
