i have seen other companies for mustangs put a carbon fiber shield to protect the air filter from this issue, but you'd probably lose out on that cold air. i guess it becomes an interesting issue for the turbo user and the company.

Just don't drive the car in the rain and you won't have to worry about trashing your engine. Pay attention to the weather channel. Problem solved LOL. Not trying to sound like a smart ass or anything. Just a suggestion.

LOL... I guess your next mod needs to be a set of 40" tires for your camaro if your roads have foot deep puddles... man, i thought the roads in Houston were bad.

haha san diego has some pretty bad roads. they only get fixed during election time but those tend to be minor ones.

i've come across ones that were a foot long and pretty deep, didn't measure the depth but it was pretty bad.

My cold air intake on my Cobalt SS is in the exact same location and I've yet to have any problems with over 73,000 miles.

yeah, but an LQ9 is a little more robust than an aluminum block LS motor. either way, LS motors can handle the punishment

Either way - that's great and please keep us posted.



I want to see what this can do with a full tune. 520 at the wheels is cool, but thats what your stage 3 is claiming as well. and since this is the stage 4, id like to see some decent power increase over a stage 3. or you might as well call it a stage 3.5.

Agreed, this is a soft tune running REALLY low boost. There's more power to be made.

A6 or M6? Either way it's looking good! Bet there's a few more ponies hiding under that hood with further tuning optimizations.

By what RPM are you seeing full boost?
