These seem to be most beneficial on FI set ups, but I'm curious if anyone is running a kit on an NA motor? I would assume it would be afective on an NA motor as well. Would allow a car to run on higher comp ratio then capable to do so on pump gas, and increase in other areas as well.

I had a kit on my sti and I ran 50/50 h20 and alchy. Just becareful with meth and if you use meth make sure your kits seals can handle it. It eats just about anything plastic. I was able to pick up 40 whp and 45 ft/lbs of torque on a td06-20g sized turbo. My intake temps and my egts both went down while I was ruunning more timing and 3 more psi of boost.
Just buy a kit with a good failsafe. I would also not feel comfortable running a nozzle pre-turbo. I don't really see how it would benefit that much as the vast majority of the high intake temp is cause by the turbo compressing the air. Plus you would really need a nozzle that would atomize the mixture very well.

you wont need it but it will always help. Has anyone with a C/T S/C have a dyno b4 and after with meth?? that would be an interesting result.. same thing with vortech.
With the Intake Temp getting that hot on a SC of cause the Water/Methanol Injection Kit will help

So is it fair to say that if installed correctly and tuned moderately, this is a GREAT thing to have, heat is the killer in internal combustion engines and this seems to take a ton of heat away.........
All in all, $1,000 roughly (Kit & Tune) and it can potentially increase the life of your motor......unless of course it stops working
