Edlebrock VARA-JECTION!!! electronic water injection system

I just got me this setup and was wondering if anyone here has used it before, it calls for injecting it before the turbo, and says the spot to place the injector must see both vaccum, and boost. Then it says for Blow through installation to mount it before the turbo inlet, I was thinking of mounting it after the stock TMIC, but then the blow throw installation would reduce intake temps and cool the turbo....what should I do guys??

RICE Racing mounts his water injection before the turbo and has had great success and no problems with that method, but most mount it between the IC and throttlebody.
Theres a HUGE thread about water injection, you should give it a once over.

You are the first person I have ever seen talk about the edelbrock system. But all water injection works the same way (well, for what you want which is cooling the intake charge and improving your resistance to detonation.)

Just make sure the spray is fine ! If the company recommend a certain point in front of the turbo then I would say their system atomises the water well enough to avoid compressor erosion.

You could just ring them and ask if in doubt, tell them you got a supercharged Mustang or something and I am sure they will give you all the time in the world !!!! Either way just make sure you can inject in front of the compressor, tell us what they say in responce

Well that is what it says in the instruction manual for fuel injected, turbo charged engines.....I was just thinking it would be badass to have 2 water injection nozzles, one before the turbo, and one where the oil injectors go, of coarse that requires OMP removal, but most of you guys have already!
