lotsa people. The effects are relatively negligable unless you can keep the water at or below freezing(alchohol solution...hey, windshield washer solution
, and have the solution flow constantly throught the quarter(or race or whatever) Otherwise, you wouldnt be gaining that much...

I'm going to do some experimenting with water-injection after I get some of my other projects worked out...some significant gains can be had by using a 50/50 water/alcohol mix. Apparently you can run a few more psi of boost and ALOT more timing on street gas, with it...you should check that out. there's some stuff on the web.

Re: home made water cooling system (ion_four)
It would be more effective to spray the alcohol straight into the engine after the turbo & intercooler. FYI the chemicals in the windshield washer eat the paint off your car, and create rust.
