What are your thoughts on water injection?

Where it is introduced as a mist into the air intake. Some claim an increase in economy and performance - plus cleaning effects (used quite extensively with vegetable oil on other engines - normaly direct injection where they can suffer from ring gumming with veg oi, but the water clears it)

With the soot/oil build up it is shocking how quick it builds up. I changed some exhaust gaskets and cleaned the intake, 2 weeks later (when head gasket was being changed as that had gone - as well as exhaust manifold gaskets) - it needed cleaning out again

and I would recommend cleaning the intercooler out - shocking what a difference it makes
