It’s commonly done on helicopter turbines. The exact procedure required varies between manufacturers. I was once asked to run a Turmo engine while the ground crew pumped fluid into the open intake. Unfortunately the end of the brass nozzle of their rig came adrift and went into the compressor. It didn’t improve the engine one bit.
