[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16557423, member: 116684"] Most intake designs with even a modicum of a filter do a good job of separating out even high amounts of rain and road spray. You might only get in trouble with ingestion with a large exposed intake. EGR is not a concern either, with most non-cooled EGR setups as the exhaust stays hot enough that it doesn't condense. The problem with water and condensation is actually from the charge air cooler (CAC or intercooler). It's very easy for the moisture that is in the air to cross over the condensation line and become water at the temperatures/pressures within and downstream of the CAC. This can lead to many different problems. It's typically the biggest problem at light/part loads in cooler temperatures, but humidity, temperature, engine operation, and CAC effectiveness can vary when and where it occurs. Believe me, I lead an OEM project around this. I can go on at great length if interested though. [/QUOTE]
