I'd say shroud the turbo inlet with a turn down of sorts that wouldn't facilitate water being sucked in while driving in the rain. Depends on how your going to use it.
I would get rubber plumbers caps for the turbos when not in use. Drill a small 1/8"ish hole in the bottom of the core to let and water that gets in to drip out. Tom Bailey drilled his after driving in a rain storm and said the small hole didn't leak enough to effect boost pressure. Your mileage may very.
For a quick fix you can 3d print some caps to cover the turbo inlet. Can you pull the latch out and silly cone it before putting it back together to seal it?
Brake a piece of aluminum to cover the turbo inlets (a ledge or drip tray of sorts). Run riv-nuts those into the nearest down bar. Secure those Johnny’s with some button head, hex drive hardware. Boom. Form and function. The outer edge of that quick release assembly on the hood looks a bit suspect. Those two nuts closest to the fender are rusted.
Probably just some no hub caps from Home Depot will get it done. Hopefully after letting it sit, you don’t drain the battery before you remember the turbos are capped.
melting off windshield and running down underneath, some drips into turbo area and rest runs over to hood pins. look under the hood again and follow the water path
I had a cap on my no prep race car turbo when the car sat on the open trailer between events. Prevented anything getting in. FYI car won’t start if you have zero boost leaks and turbos are capped 😂

Awe how sweet we love you too Matt, for real though, I wouldn't be as smart or fast without you. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Glad you got that figured out! You should 3d print a cover that goes over the turbo that clips on the cage
3d print a plug/water diverter for the bottom of the hood. Or make a “cold air” intake sort of ram thing like Calvin did.
The 4.Great never fails
Happy holidays everyone! 😁
DAGGUM FANCY MECHANICS
It's a Christmas miracle! Guy finds gifts from santa in the bottom of his intercooler!
I hope you and the family had a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year‼️
Thanks for the update. Wishing you and your family a great New Year!
Freiburger on Radio Show please…
Such a good tuner his garbage will start running on rain water!
Happy Holley Daze to you and yer family

Merry Christmas!
Same to you!
Merry Christmas Moat to you,the family and the Raccoon’s
3d print a little hood for the inlet
Wow that's crazy!!!
My mustang hates to start on E anything less than 50F, pump 93 is fine. Using your termx base also, going to try different injectors next
Removable flashing over the turbo would be helpful.
Better make sure it didn't crack your intercooler end tanks. I guess as long as the water had room to expand they should be ok.
Coming in from the cowl.
Old Jaguars used to have water deflection brackets/plates under the vent holes in the hood.
Spray foam!? Very “just rolled in”. Not fancy mechanics.
Love you Matt !! Merry Christmas!!

3D print a visor for the turbos so it can just stay on. Sorta like the old school hot rod/lead sled chrome headlight visors. Happy new year!
Jack the driverside up and any water in the intercooler will run to the passenger so you can get most of the water out!.

So that’s an air to water intercooler now? 😂
Fast fix would be pcs of magnetic sign large enough to cover everything from the outside.
Oh, with a flat bead of sealer in there somewhere.

3d print a tpu hat for the rock gaurd if that makes sense.
Finish or 'Finish'
Also guessing on where you parked it, just happened to be the right angle for mischief.
Watching
Mint 👌

U gotta powder coat those Xhaust Mani's! 2 stay fully Farkled. Man glad I'm in a warm place Happy Holidaze All!! 3d print some Whirler caps!!
A pair of nitrile gloves a stretch them over the turbo inlets. Merry Christmas ya filthy animal!
#NewYearsBurnout?
Cap it to be safe since you don’t drive it much. Cheap and easy insurance
Seems like every time I work on one of my vehicles Matt puts a video up lol
Merry Christmas! 🍁🎄🎄
Not doing much work lately?😂
@@Carbonneutraldrop Not in the freezing cold anyway lol
Tilt turbos down in front so water can’t get in
Unfortunately that would be redoing nearly all of the turbo kit
Little sheet metal
Sloppy fix……. Weld a drain plug on the bottom of the intercooler 🤣
Dude, my head was there immediately when I had to take charge pipes off
