your post fell through the system.

there are lots of people running water i. EvoTio is having good luck from what I have seen of his posts. I have had good luck too, but currently my car is not 100 %, for other reasons.
the aquamist system is top notch. quality parts and support from the developer. If you havn't seen it yet check out his forum web site.

a bit pricey considering the British pound / dollar conversion rate. But worth a look.

I won't do water or alky injection unless I am really hungry for power.
water or alky injection will slowly corrode your engine internals. your engine life will be shorter than who doesn't use this type of system. It gives you great power but there is the hidden cost.
Change your Engine internals to all titanium! then, do it

I thought water/alky injection was safe for the engine? I heard that Methanol is the one with corosive properties towards your engine? Is there any set-in-stone answers for this?

ah, water injection keeps the internals cleaner, does not corrode.

I really like the CoolingMist system.
Methanol can cause problems in some engine parts, Ethanol is better. Water on the other hand, providing it isn't a pour, evaporates in the heat, cools the intake charge, keeps the combustion chamber clean, and overall helps the engine run better.
