I was driving the car the other night in very heavy rain and the roads were completely covered. When I put my foot down to join the motorway the car seemed to bog out in second. Only for a second then all was fine. I'm not sure of the induction kit but the air filter is positioned down behind the front bumper. I've taken it off and given it a clean/dry and it was dirty and damp. I'm just wondering could this cause issues if it continues to happen? and is there anything I can do to stop it sucking in water like a modification to the bumper/ air filter, or would you recommend buying a whole new kit thanks.
Engine bogging??

I'm abit nervous driving it now. Where would I be able to but a hydro shield from, and what's it do exactly? I'm going to try and use my girlfriends car now in the rain. As I don't want that to happen again I drove about 60miles home afterward at about 55mph keeping the revs as low as I could haha.

Check here it will help:

Also if you got some cash you could buy an aem v2 or OEM intake for the winter time to stay on the safe side.
Here is a pic of my intake with the sock+heatshield

make sure you get the right size. You also might be able to fit one of these depends on space

Unfortunately I don't have the oem box. And I'm thinking about buying the tegiwa copy of the gruppe m. I don't wanna loose any responsiveness or the noise if anyone could shed light on that?. I think in the mean time I may buy that filter sock and bypass valve for peace of mind.
Hi mate when i bought my teg it had a long arm induction kit with the cone sitting in the wheel arch :s ....there was no hydro sheild ether. Drove it home at thirty avoiding every puddle and fitted an oem box from my mates ep3 (he fitted tegawa gruppe m copy) id recomend you do the same as the last thing you want is any damage caused by sucking water through the air intake. This could cause hydrolock which will kill your engine, Hope this helps bud and you get it sorted, Craig 
Cheers Craig yes after reading some stories about hydrolock I don't want that!!! So I think as soon as I've got the money I'll get the Tegiwa induction. Silly question but would you know if I would need to get a remap as I'm changing the system? And would the noise change much as the long arm induction sounds amazing imo.

Unlikely to need a remap changing filters, but it would help to have it checked just incase it made some slight gains.
The Tegiwa M will be quieter than an open cone filter. I used to have it but have put my Apexi cone back on. I preferred the 'raw' sound of an open filter compared to the almost muffled sound of the carbon box.
