The kit I'm using uses a boost switch that activates the water injection onces a predetermined boost point has been reached. The water injection is only in operation when the car is running above this point.

The more complex kits are mapable and can also have ACT parameters added in so say they will only operate onec a predetermined boost point has been reached and when ACT's are above 40deg

I've got the Aquamist basic kit. Not exactly sure of it's model number. I got it to help out my mini Pace interwarmer and yes it did make a difference. Mine is set to come in once 14psi has been hit.

Since the fitting of my big Pace intercooler I've not really had to use it but with it on I am yet to experience an ACT above 25deg even in the scorching sun flat out

Is worth pricing the cost of the kit against a larger more efficient intercooler though.
