Umm just stock airbox ATM man with a Drift panel filter. But I was looking around and thought about going with a vent in the hood and changing my air intake setup from there. Either that or go and buy that k&n apolllo and run to my fog light area.
I wouldn't personally do the vent in the bonnet method. Mind you, there's a CRX screaming the streets near me with the Pod blatantly hanging out the front...
The K&N Apollo is a decent setup, Minimikee has this in his TRX and seems to go well. IF I end up parting my U12 out, I have a Drift Sealed Pod/pipe running to the front setup (which is similar to the K&N) I'll probably put up for sale depending what I do with the next car. I saw almost the same at AutoBarn for close to $160 so I grabbed a bargain when I bought it off Laurence awhile ago. Though I don't think Drift is the best brand, it did seem to work alright.. though I haven't refitted the pipe to the front..
You are not going to run into too many dramas with water and the pod. Noss had the problem because his pod was very low down and he didnt have the plastic guard around the wheel arch so water was going everywhere in there. If you live in Queensland where they get torrential rain and flash flooding, I'd keep the intake point under the bonnet with a vent, or rip out the reserve air tank and chuck in some 3" pipe down there to behind the pod.
A little moisture in the engine is not always a bad thing... can increase compression ratio and boost power in some cases! too much is ovbiously bad... I'm not sure where the limit is.
Ryan did have some trouble even when Tucked up high, though I didn't know he didn't have the wheel arch guard.

Talk about Rain!! At one stage I expected a bearded man to knock on the door asking for 2 of every animal...
I say best bet is sealed pod with pipe running to the front or if your game, pipe running from TB to the front with Sealed Pod down there..
Are you in Brisbane?
