Yeah, I would think when the turbo came on boost it would pull open the bypass, I've seen them suck half a meter of that cheap silver flexible A/C tube into the airbox when they come on boost.

Here's an idea, don't have a pod filter that is so low it can suck in water?

Yet to see any logs or proof that having a pod down in a guard actually gives any benefit.
