Just like NOS. I have never seen it been injected inside the airfilter probably because it wouldnt be very effective. Maybe you could drill a hole in where the two runners join on the manifold, tap a thread and screw water injectors in. 1 injector for 2 ports. |

 with the fuel .This creates a richer mix on boost and helps with detonation .

I have run the same type of system no a few of my turbo drawthrough setups.I not only cools the air fuel mixture but also cools the compressor wheel and that helps it atomise also, I would think it would be more efective then just firing into the ports near the head as it wont atomise as well.
 
 But there is a problem with this system, water WILL pitt the compressor wheel over time and over time wear out the turbo faster.
