Was driving home from work when I noticed that my turbo spooled a tad slower and felt like it was sputtering when it hits 5psi. When I got home checked the filter on my turbo and it was wet...but, not soaking wet. Will this damage the turbo or can I just take the filter off and dry it and slap it back on?

Here's my turbo, this shot is looking up from under the driverside fender. I took out the fender liner cuz it was scraping my tires.

 

that my friend is bad. Turbo sucks in water and pushes it into the motor

 

even if its only a tiny bit? wouldnt it go throuh the I/C and kinda turn it into mist? or am i royally fucked?

 

a little bit of water wont hurt.

 

Yes that is correct.~ mist of water will not hurt.. but puddles of water might be harmful.. i have seen all motor cars with the cold air intake suck up puddles and still run so..??a filter would be nice.

 

Im hoping so too, I might have to take the filter off and dry it with a blow dryer.
