For what it is worth, I have been squirting water, water/meth mix, and straight methanol into my turbo for about two years now(daily driver), boost level has not changed (no impeller damage?) and it adds up to 4 pounds of boost (over 14 without, 18 with straight methanol) on my diesel VW. My system does nothing to vaporize the methanol, just a windshield squirter bottle and a squirter jet stuck perpendicular into the turbo inlet hose, spraying at the tubing wall. I have been very suprised at the results, and have gotten addicted to it. (woo hoo!).

I am about to take the engine down, I locked it up a couple of years ago when the oil drain plug rattled out, it has finally caught up, and I am down a cylinder. Maybe I can take pictures of the impeller after it has been cleaned and post them/send them to you?
