my car is water injected. my friend mike made me a small water container the size of a catchcan. the container has to be lower than where the turbo sits. just use the compreesor vaccume line and feed it into the water container than run the other line back to the front of the turbo compressor pipping with a nozzle. the turbo will compress the water. I use it as insurance not for tunning though. It pulls timming I can feel it at the high RPM. I need an EGT gauge to see if there is any kind of temp drop. But it works I'll tell you that much

Ever hear of alcohol injection. they make it for Buick Grand Nationals. It was on the Skyline in SSC for there USCC and one of the mechanics at my work is going to be installing it on his GN. When I see him tomorrow I'll ask where heh bought his from. He said it was only like $350

wouldn't you wanna install the squirter closer to the TB? Cuz it's just gonna heat up the air even more if you put it b4 the compressor.
anyway www.vfaq.com has a faq on how to install one of those mist kits. It's probably better to have an intercooler and a mist system, maybe even with a IC water squirter. Haha that'd be the ultimate! Filling up that water could get annoying then again it only opens at WOT.

I dont think you would want to put it before the Turbo b/c it willl eventually eat through the Compressor turbine then you are SOL
So id remove it from in front of the compressor.
I was thinkin of herbicide pump and small water tank and herbicide sprayer to inject right after the turbo. With a pressure activated switch to come on like at 4 lbs of boost

Goto tom and gails garage.com. They have the parts list and write up on how to install one. It's alot cheaper than the water mists.
