Who's going to be the first here to try pre-compressor injection?

You have another point, water accumulation in the IC. If the turbo were non-IC then maybe, but with an IC in the plumbing, WI pre turbo is just a bad idea. Plus water is not compressible, and a turbo is a compressor, so you are giving up air mass for water. A positive displacement supercharger is not a compressor, it is just an air pump, so the WI is not being compressed. WI with an Eaton blower also helps seal the rotors to the case a little bit. On a turbo, WI should only be injected post IC.

Hey, magna, remember that guy, Brian, who went by the handle "bripab007" and started this thread? Well, he and I are one in the same.
My account is busted...don't know how or why, but it no longer works. E-mailed Phil about fixing it or, if not, deleting the old account so I can just use this one with the same e-mail address as before, but haven't heard back yet.
Man, I forgot you can't even send PMs w/o 10 posts! Yeesh...I think I'll kinda miss being instantly recognized as an "old-timer," though, should I move forward with this account :(
So, back on topic, in case you hadn't guessed yet (I guess you didn't open the initial thread hyperlink in Aquamist's forum?), you can see that the gold-colored circular thingy is indeed a bracket for holding a water injection nozzle pre-impeller.

I really can't imagine water settling in the crossover pipe...or even intercooler, for that matter. I mean, you're typically not injecting any water until a couple PSI, right?
Surely driving around for a few seconds in vacuum or light boost would be enough suck up any residual water in the crossover pipe, and the vast majority of any stuck in the intercooler.
