[QUOTE="a_moore, post: 18127, member: 807"] I had an idea similar to this at one time but never tried it.... Inject water, instead of conventionally in charge air inject it into the exhaust manifolds. Water turns to steam when heated expanding its volume many times. This would allow the turbo to be artifically spooled by the expanding steam. Yes, this will increase the backpressure......but that would be the desired result to increase the boost. Simply turn the water off when it is lit or at rpm, then dump it post turbo. I never tried it, was too scared to thermally "shock" the wheel and trash a turbo. Here is the exact amount of expansion when converting water to steam. [COLOR="Red"]At standard temperature and pressure, pure steam (unmixed with air, but in equilibrium with liquid water) occupies about 1,600 times the volume of an equal mass of liquid water.[/COLOR] From the wiki.
