Last night I drove my car home through a really heavy rain storm. When I got home I was curious about how much water makes its way in through the hood scoop so I popped the hood and took a peek. The engine was dry (no surprise due to the heat) but my Alta intake filter had beads of water all over it. Should I be concerned about the car sucking in this moisture?

Could this be the poor man's water injection? (kidding)

Seriously though, should I worry about water passing though the filter?

 

Nah, you'd have to suck a lot of water in for it to be a problem. Even if any of that got past the filter, it would immediately be vaporized once it hit the turbo.

 

Haha yeah...I have a Vortex scoop and a AGS-R, I never have any issues and if any system were to fail because of water intake...it would be mine

 

My car started off snorting water and has moved on to injecting it now. And even worst I caught my car injecting meth!! I think water is like a gateway drug. I hope my cars teeth dont start to fall out.
