You are correct that the variations are mostly because of the installation. Being a kit encourages anyone to try to install it with varying levels of success. Most venders do not work on Island Turbos anywhere near as much as the stock set-up so even though they all may be qualified, some have more experience than others by virtue of the # of Island cars in their immediate area. I have not seen ANY turbo installations properly take into account the vacuum requirements of the auto trans. It sounds like this particular installtion was not properly installed origionally, I have seen the Island set-up and when it is done right it runs pretty well all things considered so the basic engineering is sound. It is just that eventually it will cause engine and trans problems, just ask Mark Levy.
