i discovered a kooky lil way to prevent lag before hitting my "sweet spot" on the RPMs....... i take that funny looking thing sticking out of the top of the transmission and downshift if my RPMs are too low to effectively make boost.

It works. The expansion of the water effectively reduces the A/R of the turbine. If you hunt around on the MSD site you will see a variable WI system they sell for 2-strokes that varies the EG density to change the effective tuned frequency of the system.

The extra flow more than compensates for the temperature drop.

spend your time and money buying a better turbo, manifold and porting.

I've never met anyone who missed their twin turbos aftering buying a single, other than missing the cash it cost them.

Any water that ended up in the combustion chamber would **** up the process because water doesn't compress in any state. Therefore you would have to be able to purge all of the water somehow.

water doesnt compress in any state you say.. isnt that funny... im an engineer and work with compressed h2o on a daily basis... when water heats to a gas it will pressurize.

I think that system is more for NA cars rather than turbo.

there was a similar item that was offered in a hoax group buy here in the forum about a year back. it was a co2 system that sprayed ice cold air by the muffler. in theory this would make a low pressure area after the jets causing the the very hot and high pressured air to move faster towards the more dense, high pressure area.
