You want budget, eh?
Get some tubing, a hobbs pressure switch, a 12-volt solenoid valve (heck, you can get creative: fuel injector, n2o solenoid, whatever), a washer fluid pump (make sure it creates more pressure than the amount of boost you are running), a spray nozzle, and something to regulate flow (needle valve works great), some wire, and a bottle.
There you go.
Water/meth injection isn't rocket science. I used a setup just like that on my old GTP and worked like a champ. I would fill the reservoir everytime I filled the gas tank.

So correct me if I am wrong, but from what I am gathering is for the most "cooling" efect use 100% water, if you need some extra fuel or if you want to increase you octane (decress your chances of detonation) use a 50/50 mix, right? If what I am thinking is correct then you would sugest is to have the fuel system fully able to meat the engines needs, run fuel that is high enough in octane that you do not have to worry about detination, and run 100% water for max cooling.
If you run super unleaded and still need to raise your octane (so to speak) then run a 50/50 mix but you will have to tune for the added fuel.
Am I understanding this correctly?

This seems like the easiest way to do it, plus i agree tuning would be easier...

although old, i was wondering if i could use a simpler hoobs/pressure switch that kicks on at 6-8psi. im looing for about 10-12psi of boost. water/meth will be used. i had an AEM controller but its a POS and soesnt work.
