An exhaust manifold (11, fig.1) for connection of a two-stage turbocharger comprising a high-pressure turbocharger 106 to an internal combustion engine 40, wherein the exhaust manifold (11) comprises a shaped pipe 20 divided in two portions (12,14 fig 1), each portion being connected to a bridge pipe (18) that leads the exhaust gas into the high-pressure turbocharger (106) and allows enough space to house a portion of a high-pressure turbine outlet between the two portions (12,14) of the manifold. The two portions (12,14) may also be connected to the engine via a common flange (16, fig.2). The configuration of the various components allows improvements in the packaging of the two stage turbocharged engine in order to make assembly easier by providing straight bolt access to attach the manifold to the cylinder head. |
