is there a way to spray it if you see the intake temp rising?
the sole purpose of water injection is to prevent detonation.
Lets put it this way, your intake temps are 80C, you floor your car in WOT and hit your boost level, the WI kicks in. By the time the water evaporates and the air goes in your engine you probably cooled the charge by 50C. If you read the articles I posted they will show you on the dyno and at the track heatsoak has been eliminated.

you could run a temp switch and a boost switch. This way if it's cold out and your intake temp is low, even under boost it will not spray. Once the intake temp creeps up and the boost hits it sprays.
If I go turbo on my car, I plan on running water injection instead of an intercooler. MOunting an incooler in the engine of my canam would be hard, since it's a rear engine. May go with a small water-to-air IC, or just water injection. Only going to run 5 psi so water injection only may be enough. Worst case may have to run a small air-to-air IC and wi.

Sounds interesting.
What measured temp drops have you seen?

That was actually more like 50-100 degrees celsius.

I stand corrected!
