TT in Florida

Would it be good if I went with a TT setup down her in Florida. This is my daily driver too?

Yes. Twin turbo will increase mpg while giving you more power. Especially with IPS's kit making 575hp

Don't drive through any major puddles or running water and you should be fine.

Not sure if submerging the turbos will cause any damage?

do it Niko, they need a new FI V6 in the Pizzle. They are probably bored now that I moved... Just be careful, I know how those roads can flash flood...

We get a lot of flash flooding here, too (50+ inches of rain a year). The only reasons I don't drive mine then are 1) my intake is just inches off the ground and 2) I can't get any traction on wet roads. I don't think water will hurt the turbo, you pump water through it for cooling after all.

There are covers you can place on the filter to avoid hydro lock. Or best would be to move the filters up

mine is a custom intake that uses a drop in filter.
