I've finally gotten this thing humming the way I'd always imagined, and now have probably a bit more than 100 hours with this set up.
I don't have a water-adding device, nor have I changed the air filter from the stock. Still, just happy things are working so well. I suppose I'm posting this to open myself to criticism/advice on how to continue my streak of healthy running.
Here's my short blog post with some photos:

Glort, what kind of water injection set up do you have? Thanks.

I've been reading about this for quite some time, and guys using windshield washer fluid or just water. I have hurt two of my Ford trucks in the past on wmo but have put 10's of thousands of miles on them before signs of the piston rings seezing up. I farm and use wvo and wmo in tractors too. Even a VW with a 1.9 tdi. I appreciate the insight from your experience. Only thing I can think to add is if your engine has a turbo is adding the WI after the turbo or in a way water won't go through the trubo. I like simplicity. I'll be shopping eBay today

Yep that boost pressure was a thought as well. The vacuum in the intake would create some natural suction too. Thanks much, parts are ordered.
