Is Pre-Turbo SAFE?

Just got the dual nozzle upgrade, and now got a 1gph nozzle about 6" away from the Turbo (Inbetween the Airbox & Turbo) After reading lots on the web and abouts, it seems as though it's pretty safe thing to do...

I first fitted a 3gph nozzle on the IC outlet tank, and while i could tell a difference, it just wasn't THAT good....

After fitting the Second Nozzle (Pre-Turbo) i can feel even more of a difference, but IS it safe? Should i be looking for anything important, or keeping an eye on anything?

Water in the Turbo scares me, lol and i'm a little scared to switch it on now - LOL

Thanks all,
Dean

You can take a look at your compressor blades. The problem, if there is one, will show up on the compressor blades.

With our nozzles and pump we have not seen any damage pre-turbo. Or had any reported problems. The micron size is small enough to not harm the impeller. It's the best bang for the buck for small turbo.
