@atlblkz06
Thank you for the detailed replies. I drive the 1.3 Fiat MJD with a FGTurbo,The 1.5 litre CRDi from hyundai and the 2.5 litre TDCi from ford. Its a manual. I Have added the PSI tuning box and a CAI to the 1.3 litre fiat engine,which helps a lot but the car really suffers when the ambient temperatures are high(Noon and evening). But am stuck when it comes to exhaust options. I've been told that modifying the exhaust in a turbo diesel is not practical/possible in india.

I do know that the power improvement from water injection comes indirectly from the cooling effect, but had no idea that the ratio was as high as 90/10.
Any good links where I can read up more?

I did enquire about propane injection, and there are a few members on this forum who have pulled it off succesfully, but they have used the system in the older gen indirect injection engines. Pardon me, but what is a DD?
Yes, i think you can safely classify me as a nut!
