Does this help you any regarding what boost pressure I should set. what are the negative effects if the WI comes on to soon?

Thanks

I think at 14psi is a good place to start, the engine is approaching maximum torque at 5500 where detomation is most likely. During that period, there are plenty of heat to evaporate water to add to the overall effective compression ratio.
