Kudos to Vararam ttt
Just thought you ought to know that VR is a vendor dedicated to customer satisfaction. I was not thrilled with the perfromance of my car after the install of the VR, but I wasn't unhappy because I no longer have to worry about Hydro Lock. We got about 2 RWHP but lost about 3 RWTQ. RG at Exit 28 heard about it and notified Patrick at VR and Patrick called me at 8 pm that night to talk about the problem. He quickly determined that I needed more area from my filter and custom built a new one that he is overnighting to me at his expense!! He says that will solve my TQ problem. He also took the time to tell me about the extreme tests they did to challenge the possibility of Hydro Lock. I don't have time to print it all, but it was impressive. I am no longer worried when it rains. I will post the results after I install the new filter.

If possible, let us know the results when you get the modification done.

The Vararam is tunable. Talk to Patrick and he will explain. It has to do with things that I can't articulate. I am just not that technical.

Re: Kudos to Vararam ttt (FroDaddy)
Patrick said that they took two mules and really put them through a lot of wet situations. Ran it on the track in the rain, lots of different situations. Culminating with him taking a car and submerging the nose. No Hydrolock. He was emphatic about how hard it would be to hydrolock with this intake. Give him a call and he will elaborate I am sure.
