Are you swapping ECU? What gas system do you have, VSI or Mixer?

Perhaps if you post in the LPG forum, somebody might know.

If your running gas , you should really have the metal pcv valve and the spring type airbox lid clips, then if you get a backfire you shouldn't run into any problems . cheers.
