More Power!!!!

How frustrated are you asking just the simple question of how do you turn up your pump for more power and getting involved in all kinds theory on water injection etc.? Just go to your dealer and ask them how to turn up the pump a little. They can tell you where and how to do it, and approx. how much of a turn for a reasonable horsepower increase. That's all you want to do isn't it?

My 2 cents.

The turbo mainly provides heat to the intake air by the compressor. Much like the portable shop compressor ( that copper tube that we weren't supposed to touch as kids!). To heat the air from the exhaust would require conduction throught the body of the turbo. I don't see that as much of contributor.

Physics of water. At 212F or 100c, water absorbs 540 calories of heat for every gram flashing to steam. From a cooling point, that would help the temp in the combustion chamber (piston temp, etc). I've heard about water being used for cooling more from an after firing stand point. Not sure about the compression side. More knowledgeable folks can help there. As a side note, This steam effect was looked at to cool lenses used for high powered lasers. A 99% efficient lense would soak up that 1% and they needed a way to remove this heat. I heard about this in one of my heat transfer classes.
As i said my 2 cents.

I think water injection is for the two reasons you stated, but I think it is also for additional exapnsion in the combustion chamber as the water changes state form liquid ( fine droplets ) to a gas ( steam ).

What do I know? Hopefully someone that can speak with athority will feel compelled to explain it to us regular followers of rummy's

Take care
