water in filter

[james2]

Went through a monster puddle filters soaked so is the engine. Ill take bottom intercooler pipe off tomorrow see how much got in. 

[james2]

Tomorrow ill leave it. Ill hit full boost and let the engine clear it out. Its already done it with the oil in the cooler. It will be fine just run like a sh!t and loads of white smoke out the exhaust.

i dont think you will hit a puddle as big as i did. It was above the kerb and over half way across the road. It was on a blind corner and at night . I only knew it was there when i hit it at 40 mph.  The filter got soaked and so did the engine. I havnt looked to see whats in the intercooler . The car took it ok, ran fine with a soaking dripping filter.  i did take it easy as i know the intercooler will trap the water as it does with oil. Also the car looks clean on the front after that, the rest is bloody dirty.

how did it get past the turbo without causing damage?

I dont think much went in .Took a drive down the shop a hour ago still taking it easy just incase , looks like water got in pollen filter as well all the windows missed up and smells of something damp from the heater.

By the way are filters sit next to the battery, not behind the front bumper thank god.

Don't start this jibberish again 

[james2]

I would say loads of water hitting the turbo spining flat out might damage it.The engines more at risk from damage. My car had it worse full boost in 4th and loads of oil from intercooler went in inlet .Iv never seen so much blue smoke out the back and lost all power and ticked over like sh!t. Good tip: never fill oil to max or get a oil catch can.    half way only now. 

[golfyste]

Haha yeah it could damage it but last time he said something about the turbo vaporising the water or something and it never getting to the engine ha

Haha savage that reminds me I have to empty mine
