Trucks and blazers use the side mount turbo...
Water in the manifold is not the same as water in the fuel system. You can get water injection for a 6.5 and it will improve power and lower EGT's. But inject that exact same amount of water into the fuel just before the IP and your result will not be the same...

Water will destroy an IP or injector quickly.
