I would change the intake to a 'T' style instead of the 'Y' that will help with fuel atomization
I had a guy making them out of aluminum tubing 2" down tube and 1 /34 " to the end castings, but It's been two years since he's made any
Motor looks good,, Luv the 'Dump Pipes'
I have a guy locally that could make me one so I can try it out. I’m going to give him a call

There is no fuel going through that 'Y'. How will that help with atomizing the fuel ?

He is spraying methanol though. Thinking it's not feeding each cylinder consistently. It's a stretch, but at this point it's cheaper than replacing the turbo in this battle for cooler charge temps.

Just an update but I got my water meth working MUCH better! this is a 3rd/4th gear pull in 75 degree ambient and it was about 90 going into the motor. The W/M is working so well the temps actually started to come down!
and this is an old log

Yeah...that's much better.......You are running a little rich on boost though.
I'd shoot for about 12.0:1 maybe 11.5 at the richest and see what your power feels like. 10.78:1 is really too rich and it might run better if you lean it out a bit.
Just go slow and see if you feel any difference.
125*F. IAT's aren't too bad at 14 lbs. but there is room for improvement if you tweak your system a bit. Just remember that the more hp your engine makes the more W/M you will need to add.
That is why I run a staged 2 nozzle system.

it was a relay or ground issue. I tried testing it and it would only turn on for 2 seconds then it would just buzz and stop working. Which is weird because I tested it for 1 minute strait right when i finishing up my car to test the flow of my nozzle but it mustve stopped working right after that because ive never had temps this cool
