X15 air compressor Intake relocation.

[Jackmup]

Has anyone relocated air compressor Intake line from the intake manifold to fresh air. 2019 kw on it's 3rd air dryer and countless other valves. Changing cartridges constantly.

Problems... when we got the truck it was loaded with water. the main line from compressor to air dryer was too short from factory, a Kenworth issue. Compressed water vapor was too hot to be captured by filter cartridge. Loading the tanks with water. So I made one 5' longer. But the amount of soot in the cartridge and dryer isn't helping either.
I want to relocate the compressors air intake line from the engine intake to fresh air and looking for ideas.
I'm thinking of fabricating pipe to a seperate air filter.
Thanks
