It can indeed although its a more common problem on the MC due to the design of in the inlet. Any car can theortically run water injection as mentioned above but its a very different system to inducting water by driving through a puddle!!! Water injection (which commonly uses methanol as well) is injected into the inlet tract as a very very fine mist which cools the IAT but also effectly increases compression ratio without risk of damage due to the reduced temps. Its most commonly used on big power forced induction cars, indeed we've run on a WRC car before in combination with Anti-Lag.
