You could just do what I did. Just take the tube off.

 

? And how does that help anything?

 

yeah....!! now that's the idea for a snorkle on these 2nd Gens....

 

I'd be more inclined to run my intake piping right on down to where those factory fog lights are installed, and rig them up to the fascia there after the lights are removed. It's better to make the rainwater try to climb uphill than to give it a nice easy downhill run right into the engine!

If I were going really nuts I'd have two hoses per side, one for the ram air and another for a brake cooling duct. But I'm never going nuts enough to do either so this is all academic.

 

A forward facing stack feeding a rear mount turbocharger.....

 

I guess you missed the part where I said have it turned forward so its taking in the same amount of water as it would in the front.... its still gotta travel way uphill to the intake and the longer the travel the less water will reach it regardless of tubing size.
in the factory fog position your more likely to risk submerging and hydro locking the engine right?

 

If it works, don't fix it!

 

Could be that I've got the wrong picture in my head. I've got an image of a snorkel intake behind the cab, with a scoop above the cab facing forward -- so the majority of the system is above the engine, and rainwater entering the snorkel through that front-facing scoop would have either a long downhill run into the throttle body, or into some marginally protective low point that would eventually fill while driving down the interstate in a rainstorm.

Yeah, there's that. I could be wrong, but I kinda figure that if the vehicle goes where hydrolock is a concern, ram air is automatically out of the question.

 

Depends on where your intake is.... if you have cowl induction, or a ram air hood, (that is sealed good....) you can go thru some pretty deep water without issue.

 

Maybe not 4x4 related, but some good info regardless.
