I say your ok unless the water actually got inside your engine, which i doubt. It was probably running bad because your engine couldn't suck any air through that wet filter dry it off and try it again imo

^^^ agreed............just sit it out and maybe even change the filter to see if there is a difference. As long as you didnt get into boost you shouldnt have any water in the engine.......

You only have to worry about hydrolock if your engine actually soaked up some water. You should be fine. Do like everyone has suggested and dry your air filter out and try to restart it.

I would also change the oil to make sure there is no water in the oil as a precaution.
