Default Classic Saab 900 Turbo - convert to LPG?

I've just got myself a classic Saab 900 Turbo - 16V, 1992 non-cat model with
the full pressure turbo. It is in very good condition so I want to keep it
but it's also draining my bank such is it's thirst when driving
"enthusiastically" ;-) The solution seems to be convert to LPG.

Can anyone give me any advice, recommend any installers etc? Has anyone here
experience of converting turbocharged petrol cars?

Thanks!
Mike P

No direct experience, but you definately want proper SGi on it, and a
mappable ignition controller. Then check its in tune, tweak the timing, and
turn up the boost...
