Intake Question for New Florida Resident on MK4 GTi

[ArtfulDodger87]

Going to be a shot in the dark but I just moved to Florida, Tampa area. Trying to boost my acceleration but more importantly my gas mileage a little bit further for the long drives. I'm nervous about putting in the K&N Typhoon Kit like I've had before since the filter is so low to the ground and I'm petrified of sucking water into my engine with the rain down here. I'm from New England and have never had to deal with that issue - Is there any Florida natives running intakes that have advice? Suggestions? Anything would help...as soon as possible. I've done little research but having a hard time finding anything short ram with great results. Thanks.

You'll be fine.
