Jim,

My son (using the moniker "marty") published an extensive set of notes on the 
chemical, physical and mechanical issues regarding fabricating and using 
water injection for both turbo and supercharged VW engines on VWVortex. Search 
their archives. He also gave the detailed results of a number of experiments we 
did including the droplet size of the injector system, pulsed or 
semi-continuous flow, mixture ratios with methanol or ethanol, etc.

I'm using a similar system on my turbo Audi (that I may finish one of these 
years).
