This may sound like a stupid newbie question, but thats ok because technically I am a stupid newbie. I have searched and researched about this and the one thing I can't seem to find is where to inject. I see posts for the up-pipe which correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't that defeat the purpose since it cools the exhaust going to the turbine? Also since "again correct me if I'm mistaken" but isn't the sole purpose of the turbine to spin the turbo? So if it is injected into the up pipe how would this in anyway reduce detonation in the cylinder? Also because of the extreme heat in the turbine isn't there a risk of well to put it mildly "Explosion"?
Next I see applications to the MAF pipe, this makes more sense since the objective is to cool the cylinder and reduce detonation, it would also as I imagine have the added effect of increasing the oxygen acting much like nitro, (only alot less damaging) but doesn't this also corrode the turbo blades? seems a bit stupid to damage a 1000+ dollar item if it's avoidable. I guess if all that I have read is making sense then the best way is to inject into the incomming air stream after the turbo. I'm guessing this would require a spacer plate with a hole for the nozzle. As you can see I am very confused about all this and before I spend $500 on this I want to know where to inject the damn thing.......
