Methinks according to this that pre-turbo WI takes away from intercooler efficiency a lot more than one would otherwise think.

Could it be that the inner surface of the IC gets soaked with some of the unevaporarted water, reducing it efficiency to conduct heat to the external ambient temp air, compounding the reduced efficiency effects of lower turbo exit temps ?

More evidence to support removing the IC completely with pre turbo WI
