>From all these posts on turbos it seems that some people are happy with the setup, especally with certain modifacations like water injection. I suggest that the people that are happy with their setups document them so the people that have problems can compare notes and maybe improve their instalations. It seems that the Island setup can be improved with water injection so this is something that should be investigated further. I also figure timming is a major issue. It would be good to document exactly what the base timing is and the advance. Also how the "vacuum" advance is taken care of. There should also be a measurement of the blowby (crankcase) pressure. How much boost is each person using and what is their general level above sea level? As Mark mentioned you can use more boost at higher levels above sea level than someone at sea level without damage. This is why forced induction was used in the first place. In aircraft it allowes the internal combution engine to operate at great heights above sea level without a loss of power.
