That's what I thought, but I was not 100% sure. I am pretty sure that he has pretty much removed all the stuff that they gave him already and some of it never even made it to that car, it went on his rex which has been destroyed. RIP little rex :'(

Nice work on fabbing up the water injection nozzle. You have to wonder what effect (or lack of) having the water introduced before the air gets compressed/heated by the compressor. You would think that it would negate the whole point of water injection vs injecting it after the air has been heated.

Looks good either way.

I wouldn't put the injector before the turbo if I were you. Cool water hitting hot turbo blades can't be any good. Rust later on. And could the water get into the oil return? And I'm not a big fan of big sound systems, and form over function. But that is nice work.

maybe he just wants to clean his engine out with steam.

That water is going to ---- up your turbo. 100,000 rpm's with a water quality of 100% is going to chew to ---- out of your blades. Thats why you need to inject it after the turbo :-\

Good work with the sub boxes, I used to be all into that until I just totally lost interest and got hit by the turbo bug. Still have audoibahn compnents all around with fiberglass backs though ;)

Well I haven't hooked it up to the new turbo but yes the whole idea of steam cleaning was what I was going after.

Any idea where I can get an appropriate nozzle for post-turbo injecting rather than pre-turbo injecting?
