Water injection isn't a fuel saver, and it isn't a scam. It works.
But how good it works depends on the vehicle. naturally aspirated gasoline and diesels will only see a 5 hp boost or so... which isn't much... the biggest benefit will be from the decarbonizing of the exhaust.
Turbocharged diesels and gasoline engines can see a healthy 10-20 hp boost... especially with tuning. I drove a bunch of Focus TDCis a while back for acceleration tests for the Ford club. One had everything on it (including a Unichip), the other had everything on it plus water-alcohol injection. The Unichip equipped car was faster than a stock car by a fair margin... the one with the chip and alcohol injection was so powerful it was difficult to launch, even with bigger tires on 17" rims... yet it was still about half a second quicker than the other modified car, despite the difficulty I was experiencing in getting it to hook up. That car made about 180 whp on the dyno... about 55 hp more than stock, with all the mods.

Which one did you see on tsikot?
There's only one for sale locally, Devil's Own, and it has been proven on the dyno to really work.
Problem is, it takes experimentation and tuning to find the best alcohol mixture, nozzle size and activation point or curve. Worst case scenario, you only gain 5 hp, which isn't very noticeable, on non-turbo vehicles or vehicles with low-pressure turbos and with the weakest mixture (which is pure water)... Best case scenario, about 20-30 hp, with tuning, on a high pressure system.
But, like I said, it takes a lot of fiddling to get best results. I'm not too happy with the results on my turbo Crosswind. The dyno shows gains, but they're small (5 hp, but all throughout). That's because my turbo makes a pathetic 5-6 psi of boost. On other diesel turbos, which can do up to 30-40 psi, the gains are much greater.

I have a Unichip on my gasoline Lynx. Biggest bang for the buck modification I've ever done. About 10-20 hp gains all throughout the powerband (on a 140 hp motor, that's immense), and the midrange gains it gives you makes you much faster than an unchipped car in the real world. I got mine at Speedlab.

There are many different chips, and some of the UK ones are terrific, but if I were you, I'd pick one with local tech support, so you can have it fixed or adjusted if you're unhappy with it. The cheapest locally for diesels (that actually work and are backed by testing) are the VTECH Redbox and the Unichip.

I have this unichip on my monty....installed at speedlab last week... I could really feel the immediate gain on my monty's hp.. power is superb.. I just don't know if how many percent and nadagdag...hindi na nadyno, field testing lang since sabi ng technician it applies to all monty naman daw yung nakaprogram sa unichip for MS... right now im still curious if how many percent ang nadagdag sa hp and torque at kung tama lang ang nakaprogram sa module..
