Jeff Howerton, here in CA, is a dealer for Aquamist. Not that I have hands on experience or complete knowledge, but so far, to me, the Aquamist systems - controllers & redundant ECU interfaced fail safes - appear to be the best in the industry.
As for these rings, I ordered the 2" size because that's the inlet size I have but I am concerned about its effect on the flow into the turbo inlet. The angle of the available jets' spray is also a part of the size selection.
IIRC, there were tests done by contributors to this site that concluded that one "cork" in a T2 system was the stock airbox and perhaps the diameter of the pipe leading to the turbo inlet.
This ring, in order to ensure that the spray hits the roots of the inducer's blades, must sit tight, right on the face of the inlet, and obviously the ring's three supports and the jet holder assembly, in that position will impede inlet air flow. The answer to this is to obtain a jet with a narrower spray angle/cone and then locate it and its holder ring farther out, in the throat of a 3" or 4" inlet pipe transition, where the ring's area is a smaller percentage of the inlet's total area. That is for later. For now, I'll experiment with the jet angles that come with the rings. The ring's threading is metric so you have to buy an Aquamist jet for it, you can't use the more common 1/8 NPT threaded jets.

I wonder if there are any race class turbo cars with turbo inlet limitations that are allowed to run pre turbo injection. That would be some good data. I sorta assume its illegal since the outlaw classes mentioned in a thread I posted were sketchy/secretive on its use. I said above that its a bad idea to overspin but it would be kinda fun to have a car at its flow limits (way off the map to the right) and make more power because you are able to knock down heat.

Interesting setup with a nozzle right over the shaft nut!

See that thread, great stuff. First 16 pages are great. Pre-turbo meth or 50/50 helps spool, creates gains in shaft power.
Best posts in the thread are by Kjewer1, for example :
" . . . The difference with injection pre-compressor (as far as
temps go) is that the cooler the inlet temp of the air, the
cooler the outlet temp, and the difference is greater than
the difference at the inlet. In other words, a 20 degree drop
in inlet temp is worth more than 20 degree drop at the
compressor outlet. Cooler air is easier to compress. So if
you're going to inject, pre-turbo is worth a look. . . . "

Are any of these guys injecting pre-turbo using intercoolers? I dislike the idea of having a large vessel of pressurized air and fuel under the hood.

Those are all injected downstream of the intercooler, greatly reducing the size of the bomb

I'd say by the condition of the charge pipes and air filter, it's not too different.
Mike, the way it is done is with at least two high PSI sprays, 100 PSI or better, one before the turbo and another one or two before the throttle body. The pre turbo nozzle is perhaps 3 gallon per minute, beginning at maybe 5 pounds of boost, with the other two being 5s and coming on later. So, they're staggered.
Then, the spray is NOT flammable - pure water, or at most 50/50 meth/water, is sprayed so zero bomb effect.
In that thread there is back and forth, on pure water vs 100% meth, with a conclusion - water or mix for street, pure meth for track. Mix and 100%, of course, add fuel.
Also discussed, best bang for buck is to use pre-turbo injection to enable a small stock turbos to pump more weight of air across their entire map, and also to substitute/avoid need for big/bigger intercoolers, and lastly to improve a big turbo's spool.

Interesting, is this the sound when say WW-II planes make when diving or even going down...
I'm only going by old movies, news reels etc. but the sound of propeller planes in distress is usually the same...

115 PSI Chinese pump and Jabsco accumulator, both rated for methanol. They fit in center of the GLHT's stock compact spare tire. 50/50 H20/methanol feeds from rear window washer reservoir into low side of the pump by way of 50 feet of 1/2" poly hose coiled around the outside of the compact spare.
Methanol rated 3/8 line runs forward; it snakes around perimeter of GLHT's cargo area, enters the unibody frame rail under the driver's side seat and emerges in the front of the driver's side front wheel well. Amazingly, the stock jack still fits next to the pump, under the fiberboard wheel cover.

That's clever. What's the reasoning with the 50ft of hose and the accumulator?

50 foot of hose substitutes for a tank and it fits in the place that I have available - the wheel well.
The pump is pressure actuated; it should automatically turn on every time the pressure drops below 115 pounds, or whatever minimum pressure I set it at.
The job of the accumulator is to take a load off the pump. It's a pressure and volume reservoir with a bladder (see the Schrader valve?) such that it will reduce on/off/on again cycling of the pump every time boost demands fluid and drops line pressure. It also ensures that the two sequentially triggered nozzles cannot outrun the pump with surge demand for more fluid than the pump's capacity to deliver both sufficient pressure and volume.
Triggered by two Hobbes switches activating two meth compatible high pressure solenoid valves. One nozzle will fire at the compressor nut and a second will fire at the throttle body butterfly. I haven't decided which will fire first or at what points in the boost curve. Starting with 3 GPM at the compressor nut and 5 GPM at the TB.
Not fountain parts but RV parts; this sort of accumulator and pump set up does the same thing - pressure and volume assurance - for surge demands for potable water in motor homes.

I've seen it eat holes thru aluminum floatbowls so its def a valid worry. I get the impression from speaking to peeps who had problems that when you dilute it in water it gets worse not better.

Looks like many racers that use meth for fuel are also adding "Top End Lube" to their fuel to prevent corrosion of aluminum fuel and intake system components. I guess that would do the same in this instance, but then you would undoubtedly be collecting oil in your intercooler.
