Both mine were sub £600, complete with everything, and another £100 for the safety test/certification. I obviously use cylinder tanks in my saloon, which are cheaper.

As LD says, the most successful Stag setup we've found so far is AC Stag 300 plus ECU, KME gold vapouriser and AC injectors drilled to 2.2mm.  Some of the other Stag variations suffer a lag on autos during redline gear changes. Tunnie has a Stag on his 2.2, bought from some ebay seller, and its shite, simply because the other components cannot manage the required flow. Anything over about 4k rpm, and its clearly grumpy, before it gives up and flicks back to petrol.

Not sure how much of the 'known good' AC Stag/KME Gold setup Teilo can still get. He is also really hard to get hold of - don't bother emailing or leaving messages with the (virtual) reception, you need to keep trying, and physically speak to him.

As I told him when we fitted it, and we told him when we calibrated it. Fortunately with Tunnie's driving style 4k RPM is way more than it ever sees ::)

He still has most of it, although how long for I don't know. He's moving across to a different brand which he says is good :-\

As for contacting him, I have given different details out this time as the virtual reception and number associated with it no longer exist ;) Once you manage to speak to him he's normally quite good, but not always ::)

ok so if i start getting resources together with the Stag setup you have found so far and as described above and if i cant get anywhere with the telio route should i start asking lpg companies for the AC Stag 300 plus ECU, KME gold vapouriser and AC injectors ect and ill go for range as well so ill lift the floor to get the larger tank in :)

I wouldn't expect that of a Prins system, if it was installed and setup properly :-\

Yes take it back and tell them to sort it. Has it always had the problem? Or did It gradually creep in gradually?
