I run ~1.40kg/cm boost (~20psi old money) in my own car with Water Injection and the HKS box.
*Plugs need to be gaped at or less than 0.020"
*Water rate of 20% to fuel injection rate at peak revs is maximum I have found you can run (mid revs can take up to 40%)
*AFR ratio needs to be 11.3:1 or higher
*Spark advance needs to be around 13 deg after peak torque or more depending on your engine
If anyone of those parameters are out you will find it will be down on power allot (you may or may not even feel the misfire let alone hear it).
50/50 by weight mix of methanol to water allows more power and running of a richer mixture (10.9:1) not only will you get more power but it will have a lower EGT as well (this is what I use now, after testing the differences just this week).
Hope this helps.
