Default i feel stupid for asking this but i need to know...

alright well i feel pretty stupid for asking this question but i live in an area with alot of rainy days and i am about to boost my ej1... i should know this but i can get my fmic wet right? as long as i'm not trying to boat through water i'll be fine am i correct?

just want to make sure that i can get the heavy mist from 18 wheelers and stuff on it

can this be done or am i gonna be removing the intercooler on rainy days?

of course it can get wet
plenty of people spray water or alcohol on their intercoolers

you could think of the turbo intake charge as a closed system

the intercooler is more of a radiator type of thing.

its not an air intake

so yes, it could get absolutely soaking wet and it wont pull water into the motor
