Message out of suspension between the point of injection and the cylinder, similar to gasoline falling out of suspension in a carbureted application. The water is gonna be less able to make the turns necessary to get to the cylinder, and probably won't keep up with the airflow. Might be possible that some amount of water might end up pooling in the intercooler, for instance?

If the water does fall out of suspension, then you may also have long term durability issues due to corrosion, etc? For sake of simplicity, I'd prefer injecting nearer to the cylinder.

Isn't the major benefit of the water that it "dampens" flame travel (no pun intended!), allowing higher effective compression, rather than the removal of heat from the airstream? Thinking out loud............
