ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for filtering air includes a filter housing and a battery tray integral with the filter housing. The battery tray may be coupled to the filter housing via a ramp. The filter housing may comprise a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall, wherein the third wall is diagonally disposed between the first and second walls. The apparatus may further include an air intake tube having an upstream portion affixed to the third wall, and a downstream portion configured for fluid communication with a turbocharger of a V8 Ford diesel truck. Methods for providing filtered air to a turbo-diesel internal combustion engine are also disclosed.
