Default Water/methanol injectors?

Is the water/methanol mix corrosive to fuel injectors? I'm just wondering, since I almost always see water/meth injection setups with a simple single nozzle or at most, 4 smaller nozzles in the intake runners. I would think if the mix isn't corrosive to injectors that using a standalone EMS would easily be able to maximize the benefit of having the injection setup in the first place and have the EMS just run it similar to a staged injection setup.

Corrosive they may be, I am not sure about that becuase regular fuel injectors simply are not used or needed. If you want to use the EMS as the controller you can still do this, the common/simple way is to set it as a single stage on/off at your programmed psi starting point. A multi stage may be possible as well. As far as using it as a "progressive" controller I don't think that is possible with the EMS.

There is a "pulse type" injection system for water/meth which works like a fuel injector with the timing of your motor, its not something anyone here uses to my knowledge. Its unclear to me if that system needs a special injector or if the standard emitters will work, but the EMS should be able to control this as well since its just another injector. The nature of water/meth is to cool down the combustion as well as the entire top end from the injector forward, effectively steam cleaning our intake/exhaust valves, having a pulse type system which just hits your combustion cycle would defeat some of the benefits there I do believe.
