This place is a joke.
Has anyone run a simple, single nozzle before the throttle body inside the factory y-pipe?
Was/is it worthwhile? I'm thinking about doing something like this, cheap and simple, and running 50/50 water/alcohol, simply for cooling without modifying the tune. My thought is this would also affect the A/F ratio less.

If you cool the IAT sensor the ECU will dump fuel and you will actually lose power, seen it happen on the dyno with a killer chiller setup. The ECU thinks its colder than it actually is causing it to add too much fuel. Just a heads up.

Ok, job is done, here are a few pics of where the pump is located, using stock windshield fluid tank (which is rather large), and where nozzle placement, I got the #12 nozzle and it will run at the pumps max (250 PSI) with 50/50 mix, does that make sense?
Pump fits perfectly under the fender. Very happy with the install.

Nozzle is about 8 inches away from IAT sensor, pics of the location

I have to add that I followed Denroll's DIY on what parts to get and what to install. Great DIY!.

For anyone getting an Aquamist kit, this pump location will NOT work as the larger pump does not clear the fender. 1/2" to 5/8" too big 
Now to find a suitable tank and run a trunk install...

This doesnt make sense to me. Those fake sensors that report a lower temp it would do that but when the incoming air is colder it wouldnt lose power.
