screw the bypass valve just don't drive through 2ft puddles or try to ford any rivers...

the end of the pipe (intake pipe) needs to be FULLY submerged ie the entire circumfrance of the tube in order to suck up water and even then usually the pressure increase from sucking water instead of air will stall the car before you can even suck any up...

If you do go through a deep puddle just shut off the car or push in the clutch... the added force needed to suck up water instead of air just isn't there at idle.

AVOID DEEP PUDDLES THOUGH.

It's not that hard... they have to be REALLY deep.
