I saw water stains inside the pipe going from the intercooler to the engine, like water had gotten that far and was running back down.

The car acted as thought it would if the MAF was wet, and I guess the maf was wet. It seems unlikely that the water would have gone though the air filter, super charger, intercooler and all of the pipe to get to the maf, but that is what I now believe happened.

When you sold it was it still having that issue? Did it go away after you removed the supercharger?

It only did it that one time, never before or after in the rain. I think it was because I drove in the rain for an extended period of time.

Rained like cats & dogs all the way home from the Bay Area. 8 hours.

2 hours into it I said "Fuck that noise" and pedal-danced it the rest of the way home. My wife also immediately noticed the improvement.

At no point did the TC light ever blink. That's bullshit, intervening and not telling you. Not OK, Computer. Not fucking OK.

I'm with you dude, I was hooning my car in a parking lot with a friend and had TC off fully using the simple Hold for 30 seconds and it was so much more difficult keeping a stable drift in a circle in the dry and I kept feeling pulling on one side with no lights or anything warning that the TC is kicking. Do the pedal dance and my friend who knows nothing about cars immediately says that felt way better and I could hold the slide in a circle for much much longer. Also driving home afterward felt less of a nuisance with things kicking in on certain streets
