What at about erosion of the Comp wheel. My tractor pulling buddies said pre turbo water really helps but is very hard on the wheel.

The main reason I developed this is for that reason. Typical misting strategy is to spray single nozzle coarse mist, across the conduit. That just agglomerates and turns into a stream on the opposite wall of the conduit, a river that kills the leading edge of the blades.

This is 8 smaller nozzles, much smaller droplet size, airstream entrained fog, which will not hurt the blades.

This design has been 2 years in the making. The original was a single nozzle located in front of the compressor. This evolved a lot. The latest challenge was making it un-restrictive to 1000 cfm airflow on CFD analysis.

when do you think this will be availible and what kind of egt reduction are you hoping to see ? and will there be a garentee that no compressor wheel erosion will occur ?

Yes, I am assuming the risk of blade impingement damage. If it damages blades, its going on the shelf. Full money back warranty. I will update on EGT reduction, expecting nominal...200-300. The power benefit is what I am trying to exploit, better combustion quality IOW.
