i know the advantages of running a backdoor setup with a valve located on the end tank.

my question is, is there any risk at all to having a setup like this?
hyrdolock or anything?

 

The advantages are shorter intercooler piping as well as always having cool air in the charge pipe. If the water is that high, I would hope you weren't trying to drive through it anyhow. HTH.

 

obviously im not gonig to be trying to drive through a puddle of water 10 inches deep. im just wondering, in a daily driving application, i have gotten caught in like flash downpours and have just pulled over...i just dont wanna risk anything

 

If you keep the blow off valve up in the engine bay, you shouldn't have any problems with hydro locking.

 

naturally, what im asking is are there any possiblities anything coudl damage the motor with the valve mounted on the end tank of the intercooler in a backdoor setup?
