Great outcome, at least you and winger got to the bottom of it and got it sorted. Cant do better than that.

weird

I drove our version one (with heaps of hop up gear) thru a fjiord / ford) near Geraldine once - no damage, mind you I chapped it down a peg or two & hit boost limiter around the middle of the river - beewdy

Now here's a Panelbeaters grizzle on the outcome.
They will fix it and pay the garage their going hourly rate of around $80, and that's good. But if one of the body panels got bent at the same time, it would go to a panelshop to get that fixed under the same claim, and they would pay them $45/hr.

That's a freakish happening to get enough water through a standard system to cause that. For a start, the air box should hold at least 4lts before it can enter the intake pipe - they're designed to handle that. Shit - I've driven a Subaru through water deep enough to feel a little floaty more than twice, hit a 2" sheet of water across the road at 120, and never had an issue or could imagine one.

Good/lucky outcome.

120 in conditions like that crikey and we share the roads with people like that. Especially if your aqua planing crikey, you would think you would slow down in conditions like that.
