Default knock limited power

If your new higher boost level gets you into the performance level where you are knock limited by your fuel octane, then I would say odds are you will very much appreciate WI.

Generally WI will increase your safety margin against detonation at high power levels, inproves engine torque capability and will net you lower EGT's for a given power level, and less problems with high temperature inlet air temp issues.

You didn't mention how the intercooling is setup on your car or how satisfactory the normal setup is in that regard. If your intercooling is marginal you should see a major advantage with the WI.
