Water injection... worth it?

[BoostInsideTSi]

with my basic mods being

big 16g
stock sidemount
walbro 255
550cc's
safc
intercooler piping
hks bov
intake
3" exhaust
clutch / flywheel

i am looking to upgrade to a FMIC, and most likely will soon. I know the heatsoak is killing me. the DIY Water injection looks really cool, and was wondering with my setup, if it would be beneficial. with or without the FMIC upgrade. Let me know what you guys think. thanks.

If you have the dough now.. I say just get the FMIC as an efficient one will let you run 20psi on the street which is about the limit of the 16G.

Now if you want to stay with the SMIC.. a water injection system will allow you to run about the same psi on street gas as the FMIC (tuned correctly).. but would have to be monitored regularly.

either way you look at it, stock or heavily modded, a water/alcky injection system on any turbo's car will be greatly benifitial.
