what if you're having fun on the beach...
 

with the evo8, you're spinning around and having fun at the beach full of sands...

what if a handfull of sands goes into your intercooler? wouldnt that damage the system?

I wouldnt think it would do much . . . . .afterall, it takes the brunt of everything coming at the car on a daily basis. . . .road grime, bugs, rain, snow, ice, salt, etc. . . . . .and it doesnt seem to damage it. . . . . . . .but who knows, i could be wrong?

Wash it out.. The Salt from the Ocean would doo more harm to your car.. I take mine on the beach all the time.. Sometimes in a foot of salt water banks and almost get stuck.. Just wash it.. ull be A OK
