Still gasoline engine-centric, but nevertheless:
Bosch to offer water injection system to other OEMs
It's a well written blurb. Pretty exciting to see WI taking off.

Meanwhile, over on the bimmerpost forums for the 335D (I'm a new owner), most of the modders have been doing W/M injection, with several doing pre-compressor nozzles in addition to post-compressor nozzles.

I'm going to work on an arduino based controller with 7 inputs. If all goes well, I can query the ECU through the OBDII port on canbus protocol and sample the 7 signals about every 7-10 milliseconds. My goals are reduced emissions and improved power. I'm going to leave all the emissions stuff intact. I'm going to skip the shurflo pump and use different means of getting ultra-fine droplets and controlled flow.

I would totally dig a controller like this for controlling boost on lp turbo of seauential setup. I would be totally happy with rpm and some form of load like torque or IQ which should be on can for sure.

I would totally dig the ability to control electronic turbo actuators directly from the N75 PWM signal... :D
