Is this any good , what else does it need ... a tank :-\ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STAG-4-ECO-AUTOGAS-SEQUENTIAL-INJECTION-LPG-4-CYLINDER-KIT-W-VALTEK-INJECTORS-/300806779349?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item46097b31d5

Pipework, tank, fixings, filler, filters... Basically all that contains is the ECU and loom, reducer and injectors ;)
Nowhere near a complete kit and the reducer isn't man enough for an Omega ;)
-
As LD says, basic loom kit & doesn't have piggyback connectors also the Reducer is a Tomasetto Alaska which is only good for 140HP max. so ok for a Desmond but not for the Full Fat Omega!
How do I know this? Because I have just bought the same kit from another supplier after trying countless times to contact the usual OOF supplier who is more elusive than the Scarlet Pimpernel! :'(
-
Having a 140bhp rated reducer on the 2.2, if doing again I would get one more go, its not really enough.
-
Ratings on things like vapourisers are always going to be theoretical and, probably, with a pinch of BS added for good measure. I would say a 140BHP rated one would probably be no use for any Omega engine if you intend to run it on LPG over the full rev range.

Full tank it can cope with occasional 5k+ rpm, but if you drive using whole rev range all of the time I fully agree its not up to the job.
I rarely rev above 4k in the 2.2, so its not really a problem :)

Yours struggled when we calibrated it to be fair ;)

But that engine revs to almost 7k, and thats where the power is. Why wouldn't you use it :-\

Ah, its tunnie. 'Nuf said.

Yes have you SEEN who you talking to? ;)

Same reason he doesn't need poly.

When the 3.2 gets LPG, thats going to get done right....
