INTAKE AIR SYSTEMS

Overview
The intake air system provides clean air to the engine, and optimizes air flow. The intake air system consists of an air cleaner assembly, turbocharger assembly, charge air cooler (CAC) and hoses. The intake air system also contains the mass air flow (MAF), intake air temperature (IAT), intake air temperature 2 (IAT2) and manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensors. For additional information on the intake air system components, refer to Engine Control Components. Engine Control Components

The filtered air enters the turbocharger assembly where it is heated and compressed. The heated compressed air enters the CAC system where it is cooled and then routed into the intake manifold for distribution in to the combustion chambers.
