Its been done for ever!
Of modern times its been the way since Eldred Norman finished 4th in the 1956 Australia Grand Prix.
Every decent mechanical engineer on the planet since Ricardo has bestowed it virtues and ALL following him of any note have also applied it and show examples of how to do it properly. Modern age turbo charger pioneers and who brought this to the masses (note: Hugh McInnes is the DON!) wax lyrical about water injection in all of his publications.
I was about the first rotary person to apply & widely educate people about this EXACT system in 1992 and since then lots of people have followed my lead in using these exact system parts and tuning theory
I remember the days in early function of forums where I would be roped into arguments with total clowns about water injection and how its a band aid (Corkey Bell anyone! *first class clown right there!*) ........... now every man and his dog is trying to ca$h in on water injection and think they have rediscovered the wheel.
Here is some testing of my original systems which have been emulated as stated

I am happy to see that others are having the same great results I have been having for almost 2 decades
