So a couple of months ago I threw a 90* rubber intake elbow in the hole... which helps a little bit... but it still gets wet every now and then and still sucks in a lot of dirt.
So today I:
Added a 1.5 ft pipe
Replaced the fender liner
Threw in a K&N Panel Replacement Filter
SOOO much better
Now way in hell waters gonna get in now... And sounds so much better. Now more raspy sucking for air.
Here are some pics:

Yeah... It flares at the top...

Gross huh... no wonder the turbo was suffocating.
