As an experiment, I tried something the other day on my diesel Focus. And it actually worked and gave quite abit of extra shove aswell!
1. Empty windscreen washer bottle
2. Re-route water pipe to somewhere near the air/turbo inlet and secure.
3. Fill washer bottle with diesel (other fuels may work better).
4. When driving give the windscreen washer button a quick press and enjoy the extra power
5. Enjoy!
NB Don't do this when the car is idling under no load.
NB2 I wouldn't recommend this at all really, it was just an idea I had, try at your own risk!

I tried this and it just squirted diesel all over my engine bay. It was really near the turbo as well. Do I need to put it in the pipe or something, or will just "nearby" be good enough?1. Empty windscreen washer bottle

I figured I needed to make it go in the pipe, so I changed the hose to run into the main air inlet. It worked for a bit but now my car runs really bad and the engine smells too. I opened the air filter and it's all soaking with diesel. Am I doing it right?
