Most water/meth controlers are boost referace, above your preset boost point the water comes on. Some also have a EGT referance as well.

I have my first stage set to come on at 10psi and second stage at 25psi. I dont like the EGT based systems, because there is always a chance of spraying when you dont have boost which can cause issues with hydrolocking.

Water/meth should not be looked at as a HP boost like nitrous, its better to look at it as a added intercooler.

They all have controlers with the kits, I prefer coolingmist to snows. Cooling Mist has better pumps, better nozzles and better controlers. Its just a better kit and much better people to work with.

Water Injection, Methanol Injection, Alcohol Injection Systems | Coolingmist

I have done tons of testing with CP equitment... I have in the past run meth for dyno and truck pulls... In the future I will be running water only.

On a PSD, keep it below 40% meth unless you want to see what the inside of the block looks like.
