Everyone talks about the engine, pardon me but the supercharger will atomize the water long before you get a SLUG of 50 ml or so. Water injection is something many of us have used and it takes an enormous amount of water to "put the fire out" or fill the cyclinder. I have not seen it happen and do not know of one recorded experience, though there are the friend of a friends neighbor's cousin's son.........
If you drive into a BIG pot hole youll have other issues to be concerned with. ENJOY< WOody
I don't think the supercharger will atomize the water, more the water will atomize your supercharger. Air is a compressible fluid, water is not.
Aquamist is a very fine mist of water and usually an alcohol mix. Water entering the intake is a very different matter. A head gasket failure can cause the cylinder not to fire.
With standing water on the side of the road, it can be very difficult to judge its depth on an unfamiliar road. I have hit puddles whereby the water spray engulfed the windcreen so I'd imagine a fair ammount of that water also engulfed the engine bay. Manufacturers house the air filter in a housing for a very good reason.
Mine is an everyday user on all road & weather conditions which is why in my scenario I would not use one. If mine was a dry weather runner and a garage queen then perhaps I would consider using an open ended air filter.
