i think my wrx is sucking in water through the air filter from my bonnet vent!
HI, I HAVE A 98 WRX AND EVERY TIME MY CAR HAS BEEN STANDING FOR A WHILE IN THE RAIN (IM TALKING A DAY OR SO) WHEN I START IT IT IDOLS FUNNY AND THEN WHEN I PUT MY FOOT DOWN AND THE TURBO COMES IN IT SORT OF PULLS BACK AS IF YOUR RUNNING OUT OF PETROL BUT ITS ONLY WHEN IM ACCELERATING. AFTER A WHILE OF DRIVING THEN ITS OK.
IS THIS MY PROBLEM?? AND IF SO COULD IT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE??
THANKS!

Not ideal is it? Assuming you don't have a shield of some sort, I'd make one up pronto!
