...water (but more typically water-alcohol) injection is used to control DETONATION, not produce more HP.
...true, you "boost" the HP by using super- or turbo-charging, but the water injection is there ONLY to keep the engine from "detonating" instead of "combusting."
...anybody remember the turbo'd Olds engines of the 1960's that had a separate little bottle of GM Turbo-water (H2O+ethanol)?
