Patent attributes
An exhaust manifold for an internal combustion engine is provided. The manifold comprises at least one first exhaust gas inlet connectable to a first bank of cylinders of the engine, and at least one second exhaust gas inlet connectable to a second bank of cylinders of the engine. First and second exhaust gas outlets are connectable to respective first and second volutes of a twin volute turbocharger. At least one wastegate outlet is connectable to a bypass passage which bypasses the turbocharger. A diverter valve is located within the manifold, wherein the diverter valve is adapted to selectively direct exhaust gas from the first and second inlets to at least one of the first and second exhaust gas outlets and the wastegate outlet. A turbocharger is also provided having the same diverter valve arrangement, as are internal combustion engines having either the manifold or turbocharger, and a vehicle having such an internal combustion engine.
