STS and rain testing... Ok, good day for testing. 
It was raining like cats and dogs today and my motor already isn't happy with me soooo I decided to put the stock filter and sock on and do some testing on my way to run errands.
On low boost and in auto 4wd I drove to the doctors office in pouring rain on some back country highway behind a diesel truck, then onto the freeway, then sat in traffic for a broken stoplight. Durring this time when I would accelerate I would see 5psi at part throttle (getting onto the freeway or passing) and at full throttle. Now I didn't wanna risk driving through giant puddles and mashing it but with all the rain and soaking you'd think the filter took it did remarkably well and I never felt 1 hiccup..
So for those with the base kit or base filter and are worried about rain, I wouldn't be. Unless you act stupid and try mashing through rivers, ponds, tributaries, deltas etc. you shouldn't have any issues. Now with bigger filters, high boost, and no sock....... well, you read my other warning thread right?
Ohh, and STS is working with a new "sock" that repels water 10x better than the one I have.
