While messing with the fuel pump/regulator, I moved my intake tract. It was previously right over the elec fan. I just bought a filter (old one was dirty) & put it straight on the AFM. Some people told me it would be bad because of "turbulent air" or some crap.
Also, I drilled some holes to let outside air flow directly to the filter. It also gives the possibility of water hitting the filter. I went to the car wash & sprayed the front bumper to see how much actually gets through. The filter had some water beads on it but wasnt soaking wet.
Is this bad? The water would have to make it through the turbo and alot of IC piping to get into the engine. If so, I guess I can put a screen over the holes to filter the water & still let through air.
