The old 99 turbo had the same setup as an option from the dealer at one time (No IC)although it just sprayed water from a screen jet into the impeller I think - said to give 210bhp!
Water injection is a much more effective way of preventing the onset of knock than an intercooler - the state change of water from a liquid to a gas in the cylinder soaks up much more heat than the rather poor OE intercooler ( or any IC for that matter). The only problem is having to top up the resevoir all the time! - and the initial cost of a good system that can deliver the right amount of water at the right conditions - aquamist would be a place to start. Go for it!
