-> into the turbo (cooling effect) or to inject propane into the turbo.
-> The propane gives a cooling effect, and it's octane rating is 120+.

-> CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH. DO NOT DO THIS ON THE STREET!!! PROPANE IS
-> EXPLOSIVE, AND A SERIOUS EXPLOSION CAN OCCUR.

 Propane is not an explosive, and feeding it ahead of the turbo won't
hurt a thing.  Lots of Diesels do just that as a power booster, and
then there are all those cars (and a few motorcycles, like the semi-
factory ATP Kawasakis) with carburetors upstream of the turbo.  Now
under certain circumstances you could generate a truly impressive
backfire, but that's not the same as an explosion.

 I just love gratuitous safety slobber.  Shoelaces!  Did you know if
your shoelace came untied, you could trip and fall, and your head would
split open like a rotten cantaloupe because you weren't wearing a crash
helmet?!  Shoelaces are only for the use of trained professionals...
