RE: X15 air compressor Intake relocation.
I was thinking of putting it to a commercial lawn mower filter or something about 10-12 long that has a housing. I don't want it to fight the turbo for air. I think it might work in reverse like a venturi if it's in the fresh air system to the turbo. The air drier is behind the psger wheel. I have cm 870 in another tractor same drier location without issues and noticed it line was a lot longer and measures the heat temp of the line and drier. So that's resolved. But it was Kenworths mistake or greed to shorten the lines. Then kept the truck for a month and refuse to repair it. What can I say, we can't afford to make the truck if they keep it that long. They realize that. So I took it back and replaced the compressor. It was moving oil. At some point during normal operation the compressor is sucking the egr soot backwards overpowering the intake. most likely when vgt makes a downrate adjustment while the exhaust is at high pressure. Because the egr gas enters downstream from the compressor Intake in the charge air flow how else would it go backwards. So its certainly worth my time to try and relocate it. Everything we have done so far has massively improved this 2019 tractor, I would just like it to be as reliable as our 1994 :) probably a pipe dream.
