the rain is equivalent to i/c water spray, however the stock evo tires are designed for dry traction only so tread carefully...

outside air passes through fins on the intercooler to cool the air inside the intercooler, the intercooler itself is not an intake so there is little chance water could get into it unless it is punctured in which case you have a much bigger problem

If it wasn't sealed off, we'd never hold any boost.
