Abstract
A turbocharger system may include a turbine housing and a tongue insert. The turbine housing may include an inlet, an outlet, and a gas pathway between the inlet and outlet. The gas pathway may include a volute portion and an inlet portion extending approximately tangent to the volute portion. The turbine housing may be formed from a first material. The tongue insert may be received in the turbine housing and may at least partially define the volute portion and the inlet portion. The tongue insert may be formed from a second material that is more heat resistant than the first material.
