Water was injected after the compressor and before the turbines. That was just some random FYI info that talking about water injection made me remember.

My dads friend is a pilot and works for the FAA, I'll try to get some info on this for us.

My friend and I are starting to piece together our water injection setups, we have our bottles (I can buy a ton of these at work and ship them out if you need, 2.5q with top and bottom holes in it) and we know which pump we are using. I still am undecided about nozzle placement. We will be using Hobbs adj. pressure switches from ATPturbo.com and I know I will run a 2 stage, he is not sure yet. I was thinking before the IC, and before the TB, but I am not sure where along the path of before the IC i should go. I have a foot section of industrial hose that connects the turbo to the IC so I was thinking somewhere in here. Any thoughts from you guys?
