Metric/Imperial - it's still the same distance. I'm one of the ol' guys that goes back and forth between them. I still can only think of suspension travel in terms of inches.

I'm looking for more "intercooling" effect on the engine. I've read elsewhere that for cylinder cooling (especially in petrol [read 'gas'] engines) that a position closer to the valves is better, while moving the nozzle further away from the engine gives a better cooling of the air charge. Izzat true?

If so, then I'm wondering about installing the nozzle in the manifold PRIOR to the turbo. There is an inlet in that manifold that normally draws the crankcase fumes in through it. That inlet is presently not being used and would make a good mounting position.
