water injection
ive come across a water injection pump. but theres no jets or pipes. does this really make a diff with a turbo engine.or do you need to run high boost
to get any benifits out of it . i might buy the rest of the bits i need if its gonna be any good.

iirc water injection is used when boost is so high that you are getting detonation due to the heat build up. Probably not appropriate at lower boost
levels.

agree with what said above, iirc it was developed for rally cars on tigh tracks were they didnt really have the speed to make an intercooler work
well, airflow not enough through the radiator

Correction, used when the charge cooling system in place cannot do an adequate job...
A decent IC is your best bet. WI is good at treating a symptom, but at your boost level, forget it.
If your IC can keep the charge within ~10 degrees of ambient temps, you don't need it.
Besides, you're going for a Eaton blower, aren't you? You can't use it with them due to the recirc valve needed. You'll end up
steam cleaming the teflon coating off the blades, which isn't funny...

i was thinking of a supercharger but ive just ordered a turbo my plans are to run low boost  with the decompression plate.then when i order some
rods and pistons run some proper power. i give £5 for the pump i thought that it didnt work but it just needed a good clean there was lots of scale in
the pump head jamming it.
