I get this. Normally the difference between 400 miles after I've filled up, and 1 mile after I've filled up

I had this, turned out I fried the piston rings and blew the welds on the intake. I just put put radweld in the petrol tank and its been fine so far.

Do you notice this depending on whether you're driving up or down hills?

Water injection. Cools the charge but you might need ignition amplifiers.

Water injection is just to stop the internals melting.

Prevents det by lowering intake temps. Lower intake temps mean better performance also.
