Pretty much it comes down to this. If you do have the gauges installed by Mitsu (should say if you got the car w/gauges) then the problem is there but you have'n't had experienced it yet. Its all within time when you'll get caught in that heavy rain and hit a few deep puddles. I too didn't have the flooding issue in my car but I repaired it before it would happen. You catch my drift. Its a quick fix that will save the the headache in the future.

I'll have mine checked out at my next oil change.

PM you on help for in regard to this.

Just curious, for those who had water leak problem/hacked job of an install...do you know where your port of entry was? Just wandering if the trouble cars are from a single POE. Mine was Maryland.

I still have the pricing paper (the one that displays MSRP, option, gas economy etc..) that was on the window when I first bought the car. It is located on the bottom of that.

I havent noticed any leaks, but am definitely gonna start checking it. I unhooked the boost gauge, and installed an aftermarket one using the same vac hose. Never really occured to me to follow the hose. I did question the grounding, though. Ill soon be buying some new, and relocating all the gauges. Guess that would be a good time to reroute all of the wires through the firewall, and do a better ground.

I advise fixing this ASAP. My passenger side footwell filled with about 1.5" deep of water. I thought I was on a Disney ride the way it sloshed around.

Mine wires were a rats nest too - I had to re-do them when I installed my stereo and tap those wires into the new harness. Thanks for the post!
