AEM makes a bypass valve for this. I would recommend one, if you are paranoid about it. nothing like turning your car in to a SHOP VAC when you hit a puddle.
click here for stuff i searched around on the net, cuz i was curious to see if anyone had hydrolocked their car. it seems that this is rare, and it only happens with complete idiots behind the wheel. I.E. driving thru huge puddles @ 4500+ rpms and having the CAI so close to the ground it scrapes. if you are smart about it, you will avoid hydrolock. just don't floor it thru rivers, and you should be fine.
