Larger intercoolers really aren't needed until you start upgrading turbos. Water injection isn't really a must either but it will help you run the stock turbos harder. Z1 motorsports has a complete kit that has gotten praise from many at the TwinTurbo.net boards.

Go with the water injection system... You'll be getting way more band for you buck. It's an old school concept that's being reborn. Tried and true. Too many bonuses to list. If you've read the Z1 sites stats and information on it then you know what I mean. Top Fuel funny cars have been using them for years.

Run the water/alcohol mixture and tell me what you think... If you still don't like it the I'll buy the system from you. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

for cooling purposes, i would get a performance radiator and electric fan first. also, invest in a JWT pop-charger and full exhaust to expell heat better. downpipes, testpipes, and cat-back will get that heat away from those turbos alot more efficiently then your stock set-up plus add a good deal of power. after all that, i would then start to consider a water injection kit.

Re: larger interccoler and water injection kit...

quick history lesson on the alchol and water mix. That was a WWII German Luftwaffa trick as a power adder to the Bf109s and Bf110s they ran early in the war a 50/50 mix then they leaned it out to a 60/40 mix of methenol and water. It was designated the MW50/50 or MW60/40 depending on the type.

Just some history on the power adders.
