wheel well liners

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (brett cooke)]

not quite a cup of water, but enough to pour out. i also have the piper 
cross airbox on there right now, which is just a foamed bottom half of the 
airbox. the airbox has been water logged a couple of times, both times 
resulting in stall outs and the required drying out time. i'm going to try 
to put the wheel well back in there and see if that helps out any. i just 
can't think of what else would be the cause of so much moisture getting up 
there.
