This is also not that uncommon on modified turbos. "Water injection" is used to reduce detonation, allowing more boost. I will probably try it on the turbo engine I am in the process of scavenging parts for. One reported side effect is that engines running water injection have very little carbon buildup. I think it is probably not used that much because it is an extra tank that has to be kept full, and you have to worry about freezing in the winter. I have not read anywhere that it damages engines if it is injected in appropriate amounts.
