Yea, alot of the guys with GTi sget cold air intakes, which sit VERY low by the bottom of the front bumper. I know few guys that hydrolocked there cars, but the evo on the other hand, I don't understand how its possilbe. You would have to go throw a "puddle" that is over 2 feet deep i would imagine. Sounds like its electrical. Let us know what the turn out is.

^ 2nd that. Clean your MAF sensor carefully. It should be fine. It's not like EVO was completely submerged under the water.
By the way, insurance should cover it. As long as it was public road...

Remove all your plugs and dry out the plug wires and the connectors on the coils. Also buy the MAF sensor cleaner from CRC available at PepBoys and clean your MAF. Make sure the connector to the MAF is dry. Only reving to 2k and building boost sounds like a spark issue.

^ same as others are saying, my buddy forgot to plug his maf sensor back in after install of an intake on his evo and the same **** happened, car wont rev past 2k and spews black smoke because it basically goes into limp mode and dumps fuel into the motor to keep bad things from happening as it isnt getting any karman readings... Check the maf sensor and maf that's where your problem lies...

and usually when you suck up water, your entire filter is soaked, but if you did suck up water i believe it would be your maf that would really take the damage, because that water has to travel quite bit, before reaching the throttle body, and engine..
