Just wondering if anyone has toyed with the idea of dust ejectors on a 4wd?
The equipment I work on has this system on them where a pipe joins the intake (pre filter) and the exhaust (post turbo) and "ejects" the dust. This setup works incredibly well and without it these machines will easily clog a air filter in a shift. When they are working correctly the filters will go the 250hrs between servicing.
Would the flow rates of a humble 4+ litre diesel (turbo) make a system like this a viable option? I think if it could work the benefits would be well suited to touring.
