One thou is 0.0254mm

So 25 of the wee beasties is 0.635mm.

It's the 37's big brother, the 40. Very noisy, even by VW standards!

Which 40 is that pic mate? I`ve driven 135, and worked on both 135 and 145 in the past (was honorary CFPS member). Now THAT power unit might make the T25 get up and go a bit

Still not as good as an MD 655 on open exhausts though

It's 145, on the Northern Lights tour, 2004. It was declared a failure at Carlisle with a cracked turbo housing. Still, it was a good tour.

Just remember that 1mm is nearly 40 thou, and that'll stand you in good stead..

(actually 39.4 thou)

How much difference does it make then when running on LPG. I think my plugs are the standard gap.
