Alcohol/Water injector
Water/Alcohol injection is great. As nothere said, you have to be able to tune your setup in order to get the most out of it. I ran an Aquamist set up on my 94 Talon Tsi turbo and managed to run almost as fast on our crappy California 91 octane gas as I did on 100 octane. I pulled the Water/Alcohol system off my Talon and I'm halfway done installing it on my EVO. I can't wait until it's done.

a couple of things to keep in mind, 1. you will have to run an aftermarket piggyback or ecu to retune the fuel/timing/boost.(otherwise you get almost no improvement), 2. you need to have a foolproof way to deactivate your water tune if the water injection fails.

You're probably right. While it's not going to be equal to C-16 at 30+psi, on a stock turbo that can't push more than 25 or so, it works very well. I'd say it works better than any unleaded race gas you can buy this side of an airplane hangar.
i'm not saying it's a bad alternative to buying full fledged octane, i'm saying if you're comparing it to race gas (110, i consider 100 to be california **** gas correction/balancer) then you're gettin' people's hopes up (like i once was about water injection). and the thing is, water is cheap but alcohol is not. but i won't dissagree, it is an alternate method of **** gas correction.
With my 25g. straight 93 octane is good for 23lbs boost. With auqamist running a 1.0 jet I ran 25.5 psi boost on 50/50mix. I now run the alkycontrol.com kit and AEM. Good for 30.5psi no knock. May be able to go higher but tranny broke for the third time last night. may have to bite the bullet and spring for dogbox gears.
