Well broke my front iron on a lower boost run. Had some miss-fire and then oil pressure dropped to nill. Front plate broke at the oil turbo feed and across the dowel. On tear down it appears that I was pushing too much water, as the front rotor also pinched an apex seal but didn't break it. Again all this is my opinion of what happened as the settings, fuel, and pressure I was running should not have created detonation. Oh well time for a build. I will start over with smaller nozzles this time....

Water Injection Is Good
Boost appears to be approximately 2-3 psi higher with the pre turbo and pre TB water injection. AFR's were 1 afr lower than before. Scared myself when boost cut went off after hitting 18 psi on wastegate alone. No full runs in 3rd yet but 2nd is all spin.... its good.
