I know that the CAI are somewhat prone to waterlock, but didnt know if the Popcharger did. The only reason that I am staying away from the CAI are for this very reason. Anyone?

 

No. And I'll be installing mine within the next couple of days.

How about the whole MAF oil issue? Anyone with a popcharger that had it burnt out?

 

According to Nissan Performance Mag it actually generates more HP than a CAI. At least in this configuration:

The Popcharger's filter is treated with oil just as the K&N filters are. I've been using a K&N filter for 10,000 miles now and have not had any problems.

 

exactly. Those guys must be drowing their filters with oil. It shouldnt be soaking wet or dripping.

Don't worry about waterlock.

 

to get hydrolock you need to SUBMERGE the filter, not just splash water on it, but submerge. for CAI that still means the front of your car is underwater, 6-8" deep.

for popcharger its no lower than stock, and your engine would be submerged, you would be sitting in water inside the car. youd not be worrying about hydrolock at that point.
