1. Open the TB, remove part of the CAI pipe and let the water drip out.
2. Remove all coilpacks and plugs, and open the bonnet
3. Crank the engine a few times maybe 2 to 3 times
^ Its likely at this point it will shoot out of the holes at a very high pressure.
Hopefully now put all back together cleaning plugs+coilpacks etc and clean plugs. Change the oil and oil filter with crap'ish oil and run for say 10 miles. Now then change oil filter and oil again this time with good stuff hopefully your good to go.
Hopefully you aint bent the rods.
Good luck

This is exactly why I got rid of my CAI. I couldn't even wash the car without water getting in the throttle body.
It sucks, sh** happens. Time to grab the check book.

i put a aem v2 on my car a few weeks ago, went to the car was and when I was pulling out my car bogged and almost died but didn't. I stopped for a second and let it idle and then reved it alittle and it was fine. I think I got super lucky!

I never had these issues w/ my V2. Few things I DONT do:
* Let my car sit in the rain.
* Go fast through puddles/flooded dips.
* Point high pressure water close to the filter on car washes.
I drive in pouring rain a lot and all good.
