due to what reason?

Water/alcohol injection, when used and tuned properly, will not cause noticeable accelerated wear of engine parts.

Yeah, there could be a hundred reasons why this is. What kits are they using and who is the tuner?

How many miles do they have on them now vs when the kits were installed?

I had low compression... I doubt caused by the WI rather, the effects from it AKA more BOOST. I just did the drop in pistons to find the factory cylinder 4 piston had a cracked ringland. I think the factory internals can only take so much for so long! In this case 2 years of 28 psi plus!
