A vehicle operates under various ambient conditions and various operating parameters. To compensate for the ambient conditions and the operating parameters of an engine, a donor intake air temperature is controlled. An ambient air flow restriction system is used to vary the flow of a recipient ambient air through an air to air aftercooler. A plurality of louvers are operatively moved between a closed position and an open position. A controller interprets a respective signals from a plurality of sensors to define the position of the plurality of louvers.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An engine having a flow of donor intake air entering an intake manifold, said flow of donor intake air passing through an aftercooler and having a preestablished temperature, said aftercooler being of an air to air configuration, said engine comprising:a recipient ambient air flow passing through said aftercooler;a sensor determining a temperature of said recipient ambient air flow;a controller having a signal being transmitted from said sensor and said signal defining said temperature of said recipient ambient air flow; anda recipient ambient air flow restriction system defining a rate of flow of said recipient ambient air through said aftercooler.
