Question 2 questions

just two quick questions,
1. What hp numbers can the evo put out if you were to take the turbo out? I was just thinking about it and it got me curoius as to how much power it would make with just 4 cylinders and no turbo.
2. What is alcohol/water injection?

sorry guys, im a complete newbie and I tried searching and all I get is this error screen. thanks!

1. Why would you get an evo just to take off the turbo? Just get a regular lancer if you don't want the turbo.

2. As quoted from Wikipedia "Water injection is a method for cooling the combustion chambers of engines by adding water to the incoming fuel-air mixture, allowing for greater compression ratios and largely eliminating the problem of engine knocking. This effectively increases the octane rating of the fuel, meaning that performance gains can be obtained when used in conjunction with a supercharger or turbocharger, altered spark ignition timing, and other modifications. Many water injection systems use a mixture of water and alcohol (usually 50/50), partly because the alcohol is combustible, while water is not; in addition, the alcohol serves as an antifreeze for the water."
