AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
0003
1.
Dry-Type Air Filter (1) - filters dust and dirt from the air before it enters the turbocharger and the engine.
2.
Intake Manifold (2) - distributes the pressurized and cooled air to the individual cylinders of the engine.
3.
Turbocharger (3) - is an exhaust gas-driven twin turbine device to increase the amount and pressure of the air entering
the intake manifold and the engine. Each turbine is secured to a central shaft and is contained in its own housing. As the
exhaust gas passes over the exhaust turbine it turns the shaft, thus turning the intake turbine (compressor) which forces air
into the intake manifold. The effect is to increase the engine horsepower.
