i brang the intake tube down to the bottom in a perfect spot for sucking in cold air. so far it has been great for the past couple months but whenever it rains heavy in NY and those big puddles on the corners of the road show up i wind up driving slowly through them or just completely avoiding them which is the right thing to do anyway.

i found two bypass valves by AEM and another style on ebay. The AEM ones is $50 and says that it doesnt work with forced induction engines. The $20 part on ebay says that it works with turbo, supercharged and any intake system. What do you guys think? will they both do the same job??

first link is AEM and second is the EBAY style.

It doesn't matter, airflow is airflow no matter whats doing the sucking.
