I successfully built a water/alcohol injection system last year in my SSEi with an Eaton M62. I injected before the maf in the bend of my intake you see below (you can actually see the water injection line laying dormant in my sig picture, looped through the lid to my washer reservior).

This can help to keep your TB and SC clean, as well as no danger to the MAF (that I know of yet). I doubt you'd be injecting enough water to have a hydraulic sealing effect on the rotors in the SC.

I'm currently planning my next system. Early phases.

My original was leveraged off the fact that the SSEi comes with an Electronic Level Control system with the rear struts. This uses a compressor, and also has a utility inflator outlet in the trunk. I tapped into this circuit using a pressure switch, and pressurized a water tank in the trunk to deliver the water without the need for a seperate pump. Worked pretty well, but was complicated (including limit switches in the console shifter so it would only deliver in gear, not in P, R, or N).

I'd be interested in sharing experiences with other SC owners.
