The injector shoots the water out which arrives at the pipe. As it evaporates, it expands. But it cannot escape by the route which it came from, it is blocked by the injector. So the only way to go is travel the copper pipe, then the hose in to the manifold.

My objective going this route, is to be able to control the intake air temperature precisely, keep it at an exact temperature range, instead of relying on it to suck up some unknown air temperature near the exhaust manifold.
You're going to want to force some airflow through your copper pipe, or it will quickly fill up with hot water, and you won't get your desired steam output. A good amount of insulation on that pipe is also called for.
