Don't worry about water. The turbo filter is tucked up nicely above the subframe. In fact I think it sits higher than one of the filters on the GTM TT kit in the nose of the bumper. If you go thru enough moving water to submerge the filter it's going to be enough water to carry your Z away and at that point you will have a lot bigger problems.

In my opinion the turbo in the BP kit is a better turbo than the one in the VSR lit because it's a twin scroll. My boost threshold is 2300-2400 rpms with full boost 3200-3300. The twin scroll damn near acts like a TT setup. Turbo lag is a couple hundred rpms.

Edit - I've driven thru some pretty heavy rain here in Houston and never had an issue
