Yes, there are many methods to modify the intake system, including turbocharging and supercharging, which are considered intake modifications. Simple changes like replacing the air filter with a cone filter, using a high-flow air filter, or enlarging the throttle body all count as intake modifications. If the intake has increased pressure, it can improve the torque output efficiency to some extent, making acceleration more powerful. If the intake only increases speed but not pressure significantly, it can also enhance the top speed, commonly referred to as horsepower. Here are some additional details: Increasing air flow and reducing intake resistance: Installing a high-flow air filter can reduce the intake resistance of the engine while increasing the air intake volume and volumetric efficiency per unit time during operation. For even better results, the entire air filter can be replaced with an exposed filter, commonly known as a "mushroom head," to further reduce intake resistance and increase the engine's air intake.

The overall design of the Geely Boyue integrates Chinese cultural elements with international aesthetic trends. Its exterior is dynamic and refined, featuring the family-style "water ripple" grille, front fog lamp chrome trim inspired by Chinese jade Ruyi, a main dashboard inspired by West Lake's arched bridges, and a center console derived from Chinese calligraphy.

Can You Lock the Car with Windows Open?

You can lock the car with windows open, as the mechanical locking system (using the car key to lock doors) does not detect the status of the windows. Modern car keys often come with a window-closing feature—if you realize you've forgotten to close the windows after parking, simply press and hold the lock button for a few seconds, and the windows will automatically roll up without needing to restart the car. However, it's advisable to develop the habit of closing the windows before locking the car to minimize the risk of property loss. Additionally, vehicles can be equipped with safety features like automatic window roll-up, auto-closing windows upon locking, or security driving modules, which can effectively detect vibrations or impacts after parking and promptly notify the owner via SMS.
