Hi Gav and welcome back.
The idea with the water/methanol injection is that you spray a fine mist in through the top of the blower. It's about a 50/50 mix of water and methanol but you can run a variety of mixes from straight water to straight methanol. As it makes it's way through the blower and into the intake plenium it evaporates and pulls heat out of the incomming charge. The methanol bumps up the octane rating of the incomming charge slightly as an added bonus.
You can get some neat electronic controllers that will turn on the system and vary the speed of the injection pump based on manifold pressure. So the system is only running when you need it and injects progressively more as the boost increases.
Les, what can I say...
Cheers
