I put mine in the bottom of the Upper Intercooler pipe right before the flex fitting that goes to the Throttle Body.

The flex pipe will not leak........If it doesn't leak air, it will defintely not leak anything else.

Just have Turbo Trix tap it for you. That way you know it's right and in the right position. You can install everything else if you want, just don't tap the line.

But then they will charge me to tune it. So I need to tune it before it gets there. I didn't buy my water kit with a progressive kit on it. I am going to get it in a month or 2. I am going to connect the switch and the 2 lights in my desh 1 for when the pump turns on and the other for when the boost sensor turns on so I know what's going on then I can adjust to watch psi I want the water pump to turn on. I was thinking 14 psi or 16 psi. I don't plan to boost more than 22 psi after I tune the car. Car will have 280 comp cams and flash when I take it to trix.

btw, don't use tap water. use distilled water. the little water jet will clog on tap water. of course you could clean it monthly.

I inject water just after the bov hose in the upper intake pipe. I used to inject down by the intercooler, but someone mentioned possible water injestion during blow off. don't know if it was a real problem but thought I would error on the safe side.
