Abstract
A turbocharger system for a diesel engine includes an exhaust driven intake air compressor, a sensor for tracking the position of the engine's throttle and for generating a throttle position signal, and a water injection system for furnishing water to the engine's air intake. A controller receives the throttle position signal and operates the water injection system such that the rate of water injection will be increased in the event that the time rate of change of the throttle position signal indicates that the throttle pedal is being depressed at a rate exceeding a predetermined threshold.
