I hydrolocked my engine pretty bad too. But that's cause I injected water into it! I took it to a shop and it cost $1100 to get it fixed. In reality, it probobly could have cost no more than $200 to fix it myself. And it was $600+ in labor. Unless you tried to start your engine after it died or you were stepping on the gas while it was hydrolocking, it shouldn't have bent anything. But it could have, you never know.

I read a lot on CAI's and the conclusion was that it is almost imposible to suck up so much water to hydrolock your engine unless your driving through a puddle that covers your filter completely. If you want to avoid any possibility of the problem you can put a little filter like the ones used instead of a oil catch can on the upper part of your intake. Then, when your filter is completely submerged, the second filter will start sucking in the air.
