I am in the process of upgrading this car and my next step is a reasonable FMIC (ebay), homemade 2.5" mandrel bent MIG welded IC pipes and an 40% alch /60% water injection setup to make way for high boost. I am following the DIY for this link:

I am having trouble deciding where to place the nozzle/s. I have seen installations just before the IC and ones in the UIC pipe. I have also seen installations with both. What is the point of spraying into the intercooler? wouldn't this just make the mix condense in the intercooler? Also, why a boost pressure activated switch in lieu of a UIC temp probe with a threshold temp to activate a relay to the pump? Also, what are the advantages of the Aquamist nozzles over the NOS nozzles?
Another problem is that I cannot find the Shurflo pump specified in the DIY. I can however choose between these two Shurflo pumps does anyone know which is the correct choice?

If there are any chemists out there, what is the bonding configuration for H2O and CH3CH2OH to the C8H18 + ~18% O2 ?? How do the extra Hydrogens help the burn rate? at this mix what would be the flash point temp?
Thanks in advance.
Also, if this is too much of a newbie question, please move to the appropriate forum, thanks.
