Was doing an oil change and checked the air filter on the LWB.

not sure what type of oil or how old it was so seemed like a wise move.

I also had a spare air filter which was in better condition then what was previously installed...

Cleaned the air box and checked the turbo for end float...

While removing the intake tube I made a remarkable "Performance Mod" discovery...

A genuine HiClone air intake induction swirl thingy... Which I will tell you now is actually detrimental...Not only was installed on a pre turbo diesel situation as opposed to a naturally aspirated petrol engine...

But if anything it just acts as an air flow restriction...

Though I might be tempted to see if it fits in my 3" snorkel plan as a safety grill/rat shield.
