WFO, as in Wide ____ Open. Puttin it to the radiator (I'm an over achiever, hitting the floor board isn't enough for me). Put it to the wood. These are much more colorful than the boring, anticeptic WOT.

Yes you can. You definately need an adjustable boost switch so you can tune to whatever boost psi you want it to come on, But you also need an in-line solenoid, anti-siphon checkvalve (one way checkvalve), and relay. Your "on" switch can be your arming switch, and the boost switch will be the activation switch when your tuned boost level is reached. Once your boost goes below your tuned level, the system will shut off automatically while still being armed. THen, you can just turn off the system with the arming switch, when not in use.

The water/ alky injection I have on my current truck is transplanted from my old Ford PSD.

Yep, what he said^^^^

Google "Hobb's switch" for the boost activated switch.

Since diesels don't pull a vacuum they just build boost I won't need that check valve will I? Those switches are not all that pricey!

Prevents syphoning and if you mount the tank higher that the injectors to prevent draining.

Ya got a pretty good start on your system. Just need a few more parts to complete it. Just dont skimp or try to build one "on the cheap", as ya might do more damage than good. Get good quality parts to complete your system. The worst it can get is a hydrolocked engine. That equals mucho cha-ching.......thats no bueno.

Where do you guys suggest putting the nozzle? I was going to put it in the air intake tube right before the turbo. that's where it was hooked up on the 7.3.
