Water into the exhaust has the same effect as making the A/R ratio
smaller--It will make a turbo spool faster if the nozzle is big for top
end--but you DO NOT want the water there when you get up to where the
nozzle is correct size. It will only serve to increase the backpressure on
the motor, just as a tighter nozzle would----
