By "w/m inj kit" I assume you mean a water/methanol injection kit. Methanol is one type of alcohol. So a "w/m inj kit" is the same thing as an "alcohol inj kit". For 600rwhp I recommend pure 100 (motor) octane unleaded race fuel. A "w/m inj kit" should work fine too, as long as it's properly installed, well maintained, and regularly tested. If the turbo you choose is capable of more than 600rwhp (which I hope it is not), your boost control will have to be rock-solid. Again, you don't want the soap and the bug-melting chemicals in windshield washer fluid running through your w/m inj pump or your engine. I recommend 90% alcohol/methanol, and 10% water for your optimal horsepower & octane boost. 60% water & 40% alcohol is cheaper, of course and perhaps slightly higher in pure octane boost. However, octane does not = horsepower. You loose too many BTUs of heat with 60% water...and therefore too much horsepower is lost along with that reduction in heat! 60/40 might be fine for some ricer honduh or 'billy rustang owner (no offense) trying to put a hitch in his giddyap, but for an Mkiv Supra Turbo running 25psi+ of boost, it just isn't anywhere near optimal.

For example, refer to "MotorSport 109™": http://vpracingfuels.wb.gs/page46966...ection15555665 Here's a local supplier of race fuel in Romania: http://www.autosolution.ro/news.php ...and one in the UK: http://trackstuff.co.uk/VP%20MotorSport%20109.htm

Don't forget you only need high octane fuel when you mash the accelerator pedal to the floor. Whenever you drive like a granny, pump gas is just fine. I'm not trying to talk you out of alcohol injection. However, it would be another completely new system on the car, and a therefore a new potential failure point. Running race fuel avoids this complexity. Lastly, alcohol injection has a max horsepower limit; if you quickly outgrow 600rwhp, that alcohol injection system could turn out to be a waste of time and money.

True, but if you drive it aggressively all the time then gas mileage will suck and it will cost you a fortune in traffic tickets.
