In the interim, Toyota also is examining using water/steam injection to make its turbocharging fuel combustion more efficient, but "we will need giant computers to compile the microprocessors" to calculate the best fuel-air ratio for a water-injected turbo, Saga said.

Ask Oldsmobile, they did it 50 years ago with the turbo F-85. They called it "Rocket Fluid" or somesuch and there was a switch that would prevent boost if the tank was low.

Cripes, that was FIFTY years ago. Time flies.

While Saga appreciates the performance boost of turbos, he said he was not convinced that turbocharging is technology that "makes the world better."

Maybe better suited for the lounge, but this strikes me as a pompous jackass statement. I work at the local homeless shelter, donate to charities and try to raise my kids right to "make the world better". I also buy cars... for alot of reasons, but that's not one of them.
