Engines running on LPG tend to run hotter than those that don't hence why you get valve seat erosion.
The problem with Turbos in general and Imprezas in particular is that generally they are over fuelled. The idea being that the excess fuel has a coolling effect on the engine. If you introduce LPG into the equation and thus make the engine run hotter you would probably run into problems.
Hope this helps.

i saw a Scoob (classic WRX) advertised a while back, said it was run on LPG. Looked into it, and it would cost £2k, and apparently if you drive 15K miles, it would take less than 2 years to recover the cost (not including new engine when old one goes pop!).
