from the article it seems like it is likely to be usefull if someone decides to make their Deli into a high performance monster truck, with free breathing exhaust, bigger turbo and so on.
I doubt if there would be any significant improvement in economy, emissions or performance simply by slapping the $200 kit on the engine.
in fact according to the article:
Wika is not written by techicle experts by any means for one. And on all turbo diesels and I mean all, they will pick up HP/TQ you can dyno them all day long and prove that. The quote you have
6-When water injection is being used without any other engine ‘tune’ changes simultaneously being made (eg more advanced ignition timing, increased boost, increased compression ratio), power is likely to decline.
Is in regards to gas engines and is again completly wrong, if your vehicle is pulling timing then your loosing HP, If your running full timing then you get that power back. The drop in IAT alone provide hp gains as well as the lower EGT's which help your turbo or supercharger be more effiecent.
I guess I don't get were your coming from, You get dyno test provided to you with vehicles that are similar to your vehicles, with some gains as great as 60% and you go off of wiki to determine that it now makes no power and is a gadget.
Even just stait water will reduce emissions and adding alcohol provides significant reductions in NOX emissions, This is a proven fact world wide even the U.S EPA there is no question that it reduces emissions. I do believe I posted up emission certs on the very vehicle dynod but that is not enough evidence for some.
Adding alcohol injection is like adding larger nozzles/injectors more fuel = more power, but with alcohol your getting a much higher octane and it is lowering the EGT's when mixed with water. Diesels can only run a 50/50 mix because any more than that can cause over fueling and actually raise EGT and induce detonation. Any level below that = HP and TQ.
I doubt if there would be any significant improvement in economy, emissions or performance simply by slapping the $200 kit on the engine
If that is your logic then I guess the power gained with a 2gph nozzle with 50/50 alcohol cannot be real.
A bone stock WRX-STI picks up almost 27 Wheel HP with our base kit with no tuning and thats a gas engine. Like I said Wiki is not the place for techicle info on performance parts.
If the HP and TQ numbers here mean less than a wiki post there is no reason companies should dyno there products to show results.
To bad this forum does not have any Diesel Mechanics or ASE certified auto techs to explain this further. I am ASE certified for the last 15 years in case you needed to know.
You guys should really step out the box and visit other diesel sites regarding water injection. It's not popular because it does not work.
So again, it might be a good thing for someone going "all out" but it doesn't seem to be a quick, fast and cheap way to boost performance.

Steam cleans the internals
More power at less throttle if you don't think increasing your HP 10% 15%-20%-30%-40%- or 50% will not increase your performance I don't think you guys can be convinced. Our were just living in different worlds.
I'll be doing anouther Demo in the Philippines May 26th And I'll be sure to slap a Delica on the dyno for you but then again real world results don't seem to mean much on this forum.
Your vehicle does not have to be high HP to use the kit and get gains. Here's one of our new customers from Canada, This vehicle makes only 45 from the factory but he has had it chipped and now makes 60 but wants more power especially for the highway.
