Yes, I "even know how it works". I want to see lab tests, driving through water and not dying isnt good enough to say that it works for me. Unless you are under the hood watching it work, Well, i just cant call that one.

Theres a video somewhere that Overboost.com made of an NSX making a WOT pull on a dyno..... it has a very long intake tube dipped into a large box full of water with the bypass valve about 2 feet up the pipe from the water... at no point does the water pass the bypass valve.. they do several pulls that way, had to be nervous for the NSX owner!!

lol ok, i said two different things, first i said "good in theory (lab), bad in application.

Then i said show me lab proof!

I think it would work in the lab, but not in the real world.. Thats just my opinion.

Im saying this because there have been intakes availible for decades now, and only int he last few months have bypass valves come out. This is during the increase of sales of hocus-pocus foozle noozles and GTR badges.

Maybe its just me.

the owner of the nsx was the president/owner of aem. they did several pulls and never injested water, one of the car mags told him to put his car to the test and he did,
