fsi / carbon buildup

[Cody Forbes]

Water/meth yes, water only no. The water would cool the port walls and cause more buildup. At least with water/meth you get a solvent. But you'd need to inject it continually which would require a huge tank.

Most other manufacturers have opted for dual injection where they run both direct and port injectors (Toyotaru BRZ/FRS/86 thing for example).
