It works like the Fw190 erhöhte notleistung system in that it uses additional fuel evaporation to cool the compressed air in the intake manifold to allow a current unstable, or even higher, boost pressure. (Water -along with its required antifreeze - works better as it doesn't upset the mixture ratio.) The Germans found that simply spraying MW50 into the supercharger, with no change in throttle or supercharger settings, was good for a 4% increase in power while simultaneously reducing temps.
