If so how did it work and what were the > results. Thanks A professional engineer friend recently did a lot of research on this subject. His conclusions were : i) There is a lot of utter drivel spoken and written on this subject. ii) The belief that water will increase power is unjustified under most conditions. iii) Benefit might occur in regions where only low octane fuel is available, in exceptionally high ambient temperatures, or if maximum boost pressure has been raised from the manufacturer's original setting. iv) Improved intercooling offers similar benefits under the same circumstances. v) If the engine does not suffer from pre-ignition (pinking / knock) then you do not need to bother with water injection. On the subject corrosion, it seems most unlikely that water injection will have a deleterious effect on the turbo or anything else. Reason - the main products of fuel combustion are carbon dioxide and ........... wait for it .............. H2O. Lots and lots of water vapour passes through your turbo every time you use the car whether or not you have water injection or not! Adrian
