Spearco's unit is much smaller.  The Spearco tank is .4 gal. and aluminum.
Nice stuff.  The Spearco guy is a REAL pro.  He has not only done
aftermarket and full race stuff, but he has done stints as a factory
supplier, like the Maserati Bi-turbo IC's, for instance.  

It sounds like the Merkur guy is using too much water.  And a gallon sized
jug is kinda overkill.  But I think he is on the right track, and I applaud
his ingenuity and dedication.

Water injection intrigues me on the Audi turbo's as the biggest factor's to
our I5's performance (at any given boost) is intake temp and fuel quality.
Water injection seems to help both.  And I think Spearco's unit s/b much
easier to install than a watercooled IC.  Although Spearco has one of these
as well.  I'll scan that info also.

The other thing I was thinking about was that water injection is rumoured to
clean intake deposits.  And alot better than Techroline.  No BTDT, YMMV, and
IUD, etc,etc,etc...
