I like! Concepts to keep in mind. The heavier the drop, the harder it is to change its direction, or put another way when considering spray before a bend: a more coarse spray will have more collisions at the bend (collecting a larger stream). Hope that makes sense, it is a key concept.
The finest spray possible, in a conduit with the least change in direction, when concentrically implimented, using the largest diameter conduit, smallest practical cone pattern, at the highest possible conduit airspeed, will produce the
least pooling. Nonetheless errosion WILL occur if a significant fraction is over about 40 micron, due to impingement. I do believe that the above outlines how to drastically (90%) minimize the occurence.
Another thing to consider. If a turbo ranges 0-15 lbs of boost, what good does it do, from a performance perspective, to spray it at 10 psi? Answer: none
You don't get the maximum vehicle performance until the foot is on the floor, 15 psi. To enhance top end, spray at 13 or 14. That change alone just reduced exposure and water damage 50% maybe (even using the wall nozzle). Moderation, properly implimented, is key. You guys with photographic baselines, probably are going to be the likely candidates for testing something here, not much to lose at this point. Please consider it.
