CAI MOD -the best in the world

Reckon it wouldn't have helped the last couple of days lol...
I had to navigate around 2 literal rivers last night leaving work. Blackburn Rd in Syndal had a poor Celica stuck in the middle of the road with water washing across the top of it's bonnet. I ducked down Coleman Parade to Springvale Road, only to find a similar river running across the bottom of the hill just after High St Road.

I think we've had a years worth of rain in 2 days here!!

Yea I reckon! I live just down the road by the sounds of it,l and we're getting drenched!!
I love it tho!

I had to go through one or two of those puddles. The first one, the engine made a really weird sound like it was hollow !!

The second, After I went through the car was stuttering a bit on full throttle but fine on part. After about five minutes it was fine. I took the airbox apart today and there was one very small hole in the filter and the filter had warped and started to go out of shape.

What damage could water have caused if it had gotten in ? The MAF must have gotten a little wet to cause the jerking. The car is 100% now though...

Need to order a filter, where can I get a BMC panel filter to replace stock one ?

P.S.
I reckon my car would have been dead if I had, had a CAI down near my temperature sensor.

Pierre has the right idea - Although that thing is very expensive for how rediculously simple it is.

Just put a decent size hole (filtered) in a safe place along the pipe - Or run a second intake into the guard like standard. Air will take the path of least resistance, be easier to come through your second hole than drag water up with it.
