AIR INLET AND EXHAUST SYSTEM

Air inlet and exhaust system components are:

indicator on the instrument panel.
2.
TURBOCHARGER. Pulls in the clean air from the air cleaner and
compresses it. The turbocharger is driven by the engine exhaust
gases; the exhaust gases turn the turbine wheel, which causes the
compressor wheel to turn. The compressed air then goes to the inlet
manifold of the engine. As the load on the engine goes up, more fuel
is supplied to the engine. This causes more exhaust which turns the
turbocharger faster supplying the engine with additional air.
