Description And Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The air inlet system consists of the following components:
- 1 - Inlet sleeve for "dirty" air
- 2 - Air filter.
- 3 - Turbocharger inlet "clean" air sleeve.
- 4 - Sleeve for air delivery to turbocharger.
- 5 - Intercooler.
- 6 - Dump solenoid valve.
- 7 - Throttle body.
The air taken from the engine is carried towards the air filter located underneath the engine cover. At the filter's outlet, the air goes in two directions to supply the two banks. The air enters into the inlet to the twin turbochargers via the inlet sleeve. The turbochargers compress the air and send it under higher pressure to the intercooler via the appropriate sleeves.
The air filter box upper cover is attached to the lower cover with the three screws on the forward edge.
The air filter is located under the upper air box cover.
