Water Injection with CTSC
lag huh. maybe it is because its in the trunk. mine is in passenger fender and the moment i hit 4psi the light turns green and i see iats drop immediately.
i would just add some fuel in that area of the tune since the lag apparently will always be there.

Sounds likes it working well and like camuman said I'd relocate the tank seems like it has quite a bit of traveling to do before injecting that could be the problem. One question I do have Junky are you checking your lambda readings at all? Because your using a different fuel along with the gas shouldn't the afr be a bit off? But lambda should always be the same?!? Correct?
Once again I'll be in the same boat as you soon
so good luck with your adventure will be watching and waiting for updates! your a few steps ahead of me yet tho, still waiting to pick up the aem kit money is tight these days.

You can use denatured alcohol but its more expensive than methanol and slightly less effective at heat removal. Methanol is 262 calories/gram heat of vaporization whereas ethanol is 204. It doesn't really matter though, since the water is 540 calories/gram. I've use denatured alcohol occasionally (from Home Depot)
but its about $8/gallon. Denatured alcohol usually consists of a 90% ethanol/10% methanol mix. Isopropyl alcohol is too corrosive to use.
You can run straight water, but usually people mix water with an alcohol so the water can't freeze, the alcohol is no longer flammable, and you increase your fuel octane rating alittle.
At full boost my intake air charge temperature drops from 150F to 90F. Your EGTs should drop 150-200F also

So you notice any white smoke? 

I just checked my plugs, compression, oil, coolant, and meth injection - all's good so the smoke is probably just rich exhaust smoke.
What size nozzle is everyone using and what is the power output /boost of your car? I have a rather unorthodox set up but am using the med nozzle at 10psi about 360whp. I've got mine set to come on at .5psi and full on at 6psi, both the lowest setting on the controller. Though with all the lag from the pump I am experiencing I dont see any injection begin until about 3-4 psi
