Mondeo LPG / tuneup questions

Hi, I own a 2.5T Mondeo with 48k on the clock and the plan is to convert it to LPG, (0.54 per litre in my area).

Has anyone here done this?

I read that this particular engine (HUBA) has soft valve seats witch could lead to valve recession over time, is there any hardened valve seats that can be fitted at a later stage if this happens?

Can anyone recommend an installer in the Cambrisdgeshire / Hertfordshire area? ( I'm looking for a installer that does BRC or Prins systems ) 

Also I'm thinking of ramping up the power to about 260bhp , would this cause me clutch issues? If so does the Focus RS clutch / flywheel fit the Mondeo ?

Thanks

    Can't answer on the valve seats but with 135,000 miles on mine I've got no problems.

    260bhp will make very short work of the stock clutch, but a Focus RS DMF and clutch will bolt straight in with no problems at all. Will also take over 300bhp all day long.

    Mark, 

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'll see if I be able to refrain to remap it until the piggy bank allows me to upgrade the clutch. 

    Not looking to go as high as you but very nice setup indeed! 

    Regarding the valve recession I assume you not running LPG ? That's what is said to cause it!

    Sorry, misinterpreted what you said originally.

    No, I'm not on LPG so can't help you with that or info on the valve recession.
