Abstract
A turbocharger system includes a manifold system that maintains separation between flow paths of different manifold arrangements. One manifold arrangement directs flow from a first group of combustion chambers to a first volute passage of a turbine section of a turbocharger. Another manifold arrangement directs flow from a second group of combustion chambers to a second volute passage of the turbine section of the turbocharger. The system also provides selective variation of the available volume for exhaust flow through the manifold arrangements.
