Default water jet/s location

In thoery what is the best location for the water, or water alchohl jet.
Either into the turbo inlet,Before the trottle body or directly at the port of each runner like a fuel injector- i can see advntages of the furthest sytem- in that the water having a cooling effect on the whole induction system- but also a problem of maybe not vapourisng properly and sticking to the walls casuing distibution problems.( i some cyilders will get more water than the others- and will hence ping first).
Compared to directly into each head port from the runner, where all the water will vapoursie in the cylinder.
I know you could use more water effectively the further you go back towards the airfilter- as it has more places to vapourise.
Note - i just talked to a guy with an 850 hp methanol injected( no water or intercooler) drag car and he mentioned he gained sixty horsepower by moving the methanol jets right next to the port- compared to the plenum runner intersection.
what do people think?
