best place to install a water-meth system?

Snow Performance sells a water-methanol kit that should fit tidily in the engine bay.
Anyone who has one, your thoughts?

Increased power and apparently decarbonizing of engine? Sounds good to me. I guess it's not an option on a non turbo though

The kits are overpriced, IMO. For a simple mechanical diesel you can get away with a pump, relay, and single sprayer (tap it into piping pre-manifold if you're going single)

If the engine is running properly, there are no deposits in a diesel engine. It should look like a coating of flat black paint.

Sounds like a K&N filter. This has been tested, the results are laughable. Its great for keeping EGT down but thats about it.

These engines go a ridiculous amount of miles dead stock. Why would you add such a system?

Spend roughly $120 for an extra 10hp. That's $12/hp, which is easier to eat than $1500 for an extra 100hp (big pump)

Check out this article about a meth system we installed for Diesel Power Magazine:

Clean Sweep - Diesel Power Magazine

It's quite a setup!!!!!
