1. A method of operating a vehicle equipped with a pneumatic booster system, said pneumatic booster system being configured to inject compressed air into an intake of an engine of the vehicle during a pneumatic boost event and configured to adjust at least two of compressed air injection rate, duration and timing of at least two air injection pulses within said pneumatic boost event, the method comprising the acts of: initiating the pneumatic boost event to inject compressed air into the engine using an initial pneumatic boost injection pattern; monitoring at least one operating parameter of the vehicle; determining, based on the monitored at least one operating parameter, at least one characteristic of a component of the vehicle, where the at least one characteristic is at least one of whether the vehicle component is present or absent from the vehicle, a capacity or performance level of the vehicle component, and an identity of the vehicle component; determining, based on the determined at least one vehicle component characteristic, whether adjustment of the initial pneumatic boost injection pattern is required to adapt the pneumatic boost injection pattern to the vehicle component; and adjusting at least one of the compressed air injection rate, injection duration and injection timing to adapt the pneumatic boost injection pattern to the vehicle component.
