![]() You can never suck that much water up the hose to kill the car unless you have deleted a bypass. Water is denser than air and you'll always avoid pulling water up if air is allowed to get in through the bypass. To accomplish this, you'd have to submerge parts listed: 5, 6, 11, 21. And, as some of the older generation turbo-nuts here know, you periodically want a spray of water in an engine to 'steam-knock' carbon buildup off valves. I've even seen technicians take a spray bottle of water directly to the throttlebody inlet. Old turbo-prop planes would blow water into the intake to do this. Something else was going on with your setup.
