Regarding misting and water injection. I have not tried this, but have read about many good examples of it on the www.tdiclub.com where people talk about tuning VW turbodiesels. The primary reason I heard of in that circle was related to the turbo. The engine can be made more efficient if the charged air coming into it is cooler. The intercooler does cool down the intake air to some extent, but the amount of cooling possible with a mister into the air intake (post turbo) allows dramatic cooling of the intake charge, especially in parts of the country with dry air (desert and such). Most systems I have seen have been tied to the boost sensor to only inject water under high boost conditions (when the intake air is the hottest because of adiabatic compression in the turbo system.
These are available at many hot rodding stores. Just do a web search on it.
