100% Load? A turbo engine shouldn't be above 100% Load? Or is the TB?

The data Line reads "Calculated Load" 100%
My Rel TBS is 69.04 & Abslt TBS is 82.7

A feedback after some time. Even I got in heavy rains, no water in airbox. Spoke with a friend which had his turbo car with no air filter, just a 5" tube mounted in the air stream of the car for about 1000 miles and 0 issues, water dissipates because the air gets compressed by the turbo compressor and the chances that water might end up in the intake of the engine are low, besides that even if gets in the intake there is no problem, think about water/methanol systems which are mounted close to throttle body.

Airflow is dead same, I raced some drag races and logged with HPTuners, I even removed the oem airfilter, the value is still same (33 lbs/min).

I'm not going to buy a water meth kit. I'll just race in the rain!

nice job!  i was thinking the same thing with some enclosed tubing going to the air box so you only get outside air into the filter.  id drill some bigger holes in the front baffle parts(i think theyre really small but they let out water) to let out the water that would get in light rain and while sitting out.
