Having said that, if you plan on going through standing water deep enough to reach the turbo, you have other problems to deal with....
When I came back from SEMA last year on the maiden voyage of battleship AVO, the very last bit was about 2 hours through monsoon level rain at 70-ish mph, hydroplaning through rather deep puddles. That was about 10 months ago, no issues at the time, no issues since.
