hot running temps and water injection...

yup, they use meths alot to reduce knocking aswell, just thought it might have been ideal with my X25 turbo project :P if only i could have been arsed to sort the exhaust manifold out for it lol

plus you could probably get a little bit more power out of the V6 (denser cooler air)
