Abstract

An exhaust manifold and a turbine housing for a turbo-charged five-cylinder engine are cast as a single piece. This arrangement renders unnecessary a flanged connection between a separate exhaust manifold and turbine housing. The one-piece design provides optimum gas paths to obtain a good response.
