Eventually this lead to tubro vane > corrosion, but did work well as a charge coolant/knock surpressant. I thought it went into the intake manifold right around the area of the cold-start injector. Might have been more than one; I would think the intake manifold would have enough turbulence to take care of it, if you got a good enough mist in the first place. Like I say, there might have been more than one WI setup from Saab. In any case, cooling the combustion chambers and the lesser effect of the volume of the water itself, make it work well. Dave Hinz
