You will find out soon enough what this does to your ecoboosts.

What is that, like less than 1/2 oz? If that much water got into my intake manifold i wouldnt give 2 ***** about it. You know some people actually inject water (and **** and mixes of the 2) on purpose into forced induction vehicles? It really helps with cooling and detonation (and **** or mixes of it can help with octane as well). This is not an issue at all. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

before you spout about water and **** injection learn how it works. first of all its a metered precise amount. Along with the ****/water you inject, you must also increase boost and/or timing...or guess what? you get a misfire/hesitation.
when you have condensation in your intercooler like the op, there is no way to know when it will decide to ingest, so what do you get? a misfire/hesitation.
That amount would never hydro the motor, but it WILL run rough and kill plugs prematurely. ignorance is bliss i guess

I'm intrigued by this. We service BMWs that all have intercoolers and turbos practically..... never seen/needed/concerned about water in them. And, you need to chew on some water to make it hydrolock (like a lot!)... other than that, its chug a lug and steam as it swallows it.

Don't know if i'm all about the red ADD logo....didn't know that was going to be there.

You guys new to the ECOBooST make me laugh. The concern is not hydro-locking for the love of god. The earlier ECOBooST would go into limp mod when to much condensation would make it into the intake. It is thought that it would hit a sensor and trigger a over boost fault or the water would hit a spark plug and make it miss. When in limp you would have to pull over to the side of the road with little to no power and restart the truck. This is scary as shit when you are in lane #4 of the interstate.

How ever the older ECOs had a Mass air located down stream from the IC and this was most likely the culprit. The 2nd gen ECOs have 2 MAP sensors.
