@BRZPDX graduated to an RS4 audi from what i remember it does come with removable rain guards to prevent water from just pouring in on your engine

Thought that based on this pic it would have some sort of guide for the water and not just a hole falling into the engine. Thanks for the update though.

to be honest, I tried not to drive the car in the rain, but the rainguards did its job I think. Not exactly sure where the water was redirected to, but I did not have any issues with my top mount turbo set-up.

I've seen other vented hoods, but aesthetically this was my favorite from function and form perspective. The seibon ones seems too "designed" but this one just has square cut holes, which looks cleaner imo.

Just got some water marks(turned to rust) over the center section of the turbo.. but then again we've had record high rains in the past week here in Florida.. not bad.
