Looking for an Auxiliary Air Intake to avoid Turbo Asphyxiation

[christopher]

So last Monday, after we had that lovely dump, I noticed all day long my Air Intakes were either covered with snow or more often were covered in ICE and the engine was struggling from lack of AIR anytime I had it pinned wide open.

Is there anyone offering an auxiliary intake option of any sort to get more air to feed the hungry turbo?

that's a very good problem to have

Check and clean the frog skin vent on the under hood bypass valve. Mine was covered in belt dust and causing it to bog.

Hmmm
Thats a thought..

If your bypass valve isn’t plugged, you should be able to have your top vents completely blocked and still run like a champ.

Here’s a video showing it on a g4:

Great little video.
Many Thanks
My sled certainly ran going up the hill.
But it ran BETTER after I removed all of the ice on the 2nd pull.
