Default Running WI kits pre turbo?

I'm about to run an aquamist WI kit on my mr2 running a GT3076r.

Doing a little research as to the location on where to install the jets.

What are people's thought of this running Pre Turbo?

i think the WI kit may put too much load on the turbo and cause a failure???

And how could that possibly happen ?

Many people do it, it works fine and done correctly causes no problems whatsoever.

was just thinking of the increased load due to the volume of water in the air being sucked through the turbo but if people do it then.....no worries

They only inject small quantities, they dont dump bucket loads in lol

And the cooling effect it has can actually reduce the stresses on the compressor.
