DO NOT put a flapper valve in the system!
The turbo makes a terrible vacuum!!
You want as little restriction as possible before the turbo!!!
As a safety precaution I suggest you do not drive your car into any lakes or ponds and you will be just fine with the curent filter placement.  
The fender is actually pretty well sealed against any large amounts of water getting into it. With the large underbody cover and fender liner the only other entry point is the lower grill opening. Even that has side deflectors that channel the airflow into the radiator.

I'm not too worried about it happening, but if it did I would come up with something. I agree...don't go driving through ponds and lakes!
QUESTION:
I have a return style fuel system. I am trying to figure out how to stop the fuel spike that can happen when the fuel pressure regulator gets higher pressure on it. If I run 10psi then it will likely add about 10psi pressure, running my injectors at 65psi under boost. I definitely don't need that. I want a real consistent pressure regulator.
Whats the solution? I thought about a one way valve but that will hold it in vacuum. I would have to make some kind of switchable valve for it.

Just curious about your choice of oil pan inlet devices. Did you go with an "AN" bung? The hardline looks good, and it "appears" you did go with an "AN" fitting, but did you weld it in. Trying to figure it out before I recieve my kit from SF, and seeing as the pan is aluminum, I'm curious of everyone's "plan of action".

All right All right!
I forgot to respond to it.
It is a 1/2" NPT pipe fitting that fits a 1/2" ID compression fitting from my drain tube. I drilled a hole, then tapped it with a tap. The wall on the oil pan is quite thin but I was able to ket about 2-2.5 threads out of it. The npt fittings self tighten depending on how deep you tap them. I tapped it to about 60-70% so it would have enough of the fitting on the inside and outside of the oil pan. I used medium strength Loc-tite on the threads, screwed in the fitting and let it set. AFter 10 minutes I coated the fitting on the inside of the oil pan with black RTV to insure a positive seal.
Simple.

Now how about some ideas for my question??????????

I don't see why having the FP raise dependant on boost is such a problem. Now I understand you may be saying you don't want to run fuel pressure levels that high. So... What's the FP setting for the Non-SVT FPR? 10lbs less?? What about the early Duratecs??? Rigging a switch/valve that is boost sensitive would work I suppose. You could always convert to returnless.

Its ALIVE!
I've been driving it around this evening and I must say it is F'in COOL! I've left the wastegate at the stock 7psi setting and I don't have the intercooler done, so it is far from 'complete'. It is however very quick and responsive. The boost is on full by about 3500 rpm or so; it starts pressurizing around 2000+ rpm. All of this means that it takes off quick and pulls hard as hell all the way to the redline. The car doesn't seem to have suffered any loss of low-end power with all that complex piping and this is a sign that the sizing is pretty good. I haven't had a lot of time with it so I will update more later. Here is a picture of the final product (no intercooler yet):

Enjoy, I am!
