Looks like water is going to get in when you are at a traffic jam and it's rainning.
Will it hurt the engine then?

It wont, or only very little. No worries

But, those openings/opening have a mash in there an that will slow down entering of the water. Also, underneath those there is a turbo charger which has a shield over it. Either way, as long as you don't damp buckets of water to it, you will be fine!

And, this is an obvious problem with the hood openings, so I do believe that spend some time and made sure that this is not going to be a problem for 12 years now!

Mr. AWD

how about with an aftermarket turbo ? do you still keep the heatshield on if possible? or how about if water (even if is a minimal of it ) hits the after market snail , will it cost any problems ??
Thanks also for all the info that has been posted ...
