One thing you forgot to mention. Hot water vapor is bigger than hot nitrogen (air is mostly that gas), so you get a bit more pressure in the cylinder, even with the lower temperature.hjkort wrote: - biggest pro: the mixture contains lots of energy after combustion, used in the turbo to produce more boost, without overheating.

Water injection is used quite extensively on high boosted tuned cars as it really lowers the inlet air temperature.
Certainly on aftermarket ECUs (such as Megasquirt) you can configure it to control an injector which is connected to a water supply, so upon high boost the ECU turns the injector on and off spraying a small mist of water in. I believe this is also used if NOS is being sprayed in, as the NOS rapidly increases the temperature, the water does its best to keep the engine from dieing!
