Well, I finally got around to installing the propane system today in the 98
Jetta and then promptly proceeded to almost blow up the engine! :^0 I had
the system wide open (Propane opened up at 80psi) and the first time the
hobbs switch opened up the propane the car immediately redlined and I shut
it down. After many adjustments, I have discovered that having the pressure
on the propane at about 22lbs works just right. As the turbo spools up and
hits 10psi you can just feel the umph of the propane going in and when the
boost drops back down you can just feel it come off the propane. I am going
on a road trip tomorrow (Monroe, La. and back about 600 miles) so I will let
you all know how it goes. Hayden
