Re: Weird intake Idea
you could hit up ebay. The have intercoolers that aren't even 150 shipped and you can get a few different sizes, and they also have universal intercooler piping so you could make your own charge pipes,and that way you already have intercooler~>TB completed when you decide boost. The intercooler wouldn't be restrictive unless you used like 1.5 inch piping, it would actually flow better at higher speeds, but if you do come across that 2foot deep puddle, or home whatever you wanna call it, if that intercooler submerges, its going to do the same thing as a cold air intake.
Running the intercooler like that you won't have any filter, so if it dusty out, you're engine is going to breathe it in.
The short ram is going to be your best route. Order an ebay intake and get a real K&N filter. Then...no worries with water. Cold air does give more HP, but in a wetter environment, its not worth the risk for the extra 5 or so hp. Take out your spare tire or something if you're looking for that extra edge
