Yes, I have seen people do this, but they're injecting straight methanol, not a gas station water/meth mix. It definitely allows for more boost, or at least makes up for a poor intercooling system at high boost.
Methanol definitely has a superior latent heat of evaporation versus any pump fuel.
Force's record 16G 1G talon runs no intercooler and only methanol, and the intake air temp is pegged at 300* any time the car is over 5000rpm.
Most people just don't know the benefits (or don't want to spend the money) of these kinds of things. Meth injection, twin-scoll turbos, proper cam selection, proper turbo selection, the list goes on and on. If you haven't seen the gains and you're too lazy to research, you'll remain ignorant of the possibilities. This describes 90% of people that are "into cars/racing/drifting/etc".
