I thought about that BUT my main concern of mounting the nozzles farther down stream from my TB is being located before my damn relief valve.
If I ever overboost I AT LEAST want my 50/50 mix still supplying the motor under these brief severe conditions...again hypathetical but at least some what safer then high boost with no WI
That is one of the main reasons I do not want to go pre-turbo. However I do hope that the nozzle location in my prev picture is far enough away from the rotor chambers to let the meth "flash" with the water/air....
My last concern is going to be how to mount the 2 nozzles. I was originally going to mount them 180 degrees from each other BUT after reading some of Howard Coleman's posts, the 3 and 6 o'clock positions seem the best. Anyone have any input on this?
BTW, snow performance contacted me and told me that there is only a 5PSI differance in pressure at the nozzle of 2 175ml/min nozzles compared to 1 375ml/min nozzle. hmmmm, still.. slightly better atomization with 2 nozzles.

I think one of the main advantages of running preturbo is due to the atomization that the water gets going through the compressor. The water is much easier to burn and can take the heat out of the combustion chamber easier then large water droplets. There is also evidence supporting preturbo extending the compressor map, which would only be an advantage once you start maxing the turbo out.

I totally agree. I will only be pushing 15 psi on my 62-1 so I am no where close to maxing it out lol. I am very impressed by you D.I.Y. system. I am also excited to see how your fast reacting AIT does when I install my WI system.
