That's an old hot rod/Funny Car trick. When the water evaporates it cools the combustion chamber allowing you run tons of boost without backing your timing off to prevent detonation. The only way I could see it really benefiting a N/A car would be if you ran timing bumped so insanely forward that the car barely ran. And forget about the stress of doing that on engine internals. Basically, if you're not boosted I wouldn't waste the money.
