In an engine equipped with a supercharging system, where in the intake circuit is the air filter located?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The main function of the air filter is to retain impurities and solid particles from the outside air before they enter the mechanical components of the engine. In turbocharged engines, the compressor turbine spins at extremely high speeds and any speck of dust, sand or debris would cause severe wear or the immediate destruction of its blades. The air must therefore be filtered before entering the turbocharger. The options that place the filter between the turbocharger and the intercooler, or between the latter and the intake valves, are incorrect, since in those sections the air is already flowing at high pressure and the turbocharger would have drawn in dirty air with no prior protection.
