Cold Air Intake - Question - Toyota Yaris Forums

lol people on here act like if your intake sucks a drop of water its gonna explode. The first 20 times it happens your car will stall and that's about it. To hydrolock you have to suck enough water to fill the cylinder to the point the piston can't complete its stroke due to water being incompressible. Basically you have to submerge most of the filter before you're bending rods. Splashing a few drops or even a moderate amount of water isn't going to do anything but spit some steam out your exhaust pipe and most likely stall you out.

As for CELs, no they aren't common. If you don't put it together right, guaranteed CEL. If you put it together right, guaranteed no CEL.
