Preturbo water injection.

Right--methanol vaporizes more readily than water. And you want the liquid to fully vaporize before it reaches the wheel.
In other words, water will remain in droplet form longer than methanol. So the higher your concentration of water, the higher the risk of damage to the wheel.

i called AIS about pre turbo spray they told me that it helps cool the hot turbo and can helps increase compressor potential they say that its a small nozzle like 2gph size that is used pre-turbo and that meth injection always works better at cooling the air after the turbo

Yesterday I was at the tuner. Completely independent of my knowledge of this thread I asked him about the begi intercooler setup and he said that it was nice and that it was cheap but not the way to go. Here's what he said, quoted as accurately as I can remember and I will be HAPPY to go ask him any questions you post here and I'm sure he'll answer me if he's got any time.
him: "Water/methanol [aprox. 50/50] injection is the ONLY way to go. I spray it right at the turbine."
me: "Why?"
him: "Well, water/methanol because it just works better. Remember an intercooler only works when your moving. So you're not being cooled while reeving in a parking lot or launching at a stoplight. I shoot it at the turbine because that's where it's most turbulent."
There was more but I can't say accurately what it was so you'll have to ask. This guy has been around as long as corky. He's pushing 70 and has been a tuner / dealer of FI since the 60s and has now "retired" to the odd project (my car!) and the building of kit cars to order.

I believe you may be onto something here.
Imagine: post-engine nitrous injection coupled with Direct Exhaust Injection!
Why, with these two technologies combined, we could Rule The World!

I will be utilizing a Devils Own 1 gph nozzle pre turbo at well as my 5 gph nozzle just before the throttle body. I will report back after installing and driving with the 1 gph.
