Part of the interest is because the blower may be more efficient and snail move denser air.

Looked on the site, smallest nozzle size is .5 gal/hour.
Using 2, I would have to refill on a trip.

i will be experimenting with high efficiency air to air with a novi 1000 if i can keep boost loss to 1.5-2 psi it should offset the high iat's i get with air to water when its 105 degrees outside as it is right now and nitrous fumigation into the air box to increase efficiency of the blower which will increase boost and give a 50 hp bump in power though none of this will happen til winter. for me i would give up 15 hp for consistent iat on track. for instance i make 360-380 12-14psi weather dependent and in this heat as low as 340 at 12 psi due to hot air so this is my reason for doing some changes if it works on the old blower a 1200 would be badass

Do you think that rigging up a CAI would help with your air temps instead of the under the hood air intake?

afraid it would create a restriction in front of the blower. i shielded my comptech airbox and opened up some areas for it to get outside air .

Dont over complicate yourself. Install your kit right before the Throttle body. I've run WM Injection for over 10 years now on both a Turbo IS300 and my Honda S2000 supercharged which I use for track days. All installed right before the TB, no puddling problems ever. Just check always for no leaks and that the module is working fine (AEM makes some crappy modules sometimes) A good economical system is Cooling mist, much more robust than the AEM, or if you can afford it, Aquamist. I see intake temps drop 10-15F degrees when the system comes on. I use the OEM wind shield water reservoir and it lasts a long time (weeks) using the medium AEM nozzle. All depends how much you boost. My country only has 91 octane so WM injection is a must here. You'll be happy with it.

For best performance you want it as close to the intake manifold as possible. This helps keep the charge temperatures very low.

The intake air is hottest after it has been forced into the system, putting it infront of the blower will have much less effect on charge temps.
