In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a housing assembly for a forced induction system of an internal combustion engine is provided. The housing includes a turbine housing that further includes a turbine inlet passage in fluid communication with a turbine volute configured to house a turbine wheel. The housing assembly also includes a turbine outlet passage integrated in the turbine housing, the turbine outlet passage in fluid communication with the turbine volute, the turbine outlet passage configured to direct the exhaust gas flow to a catalytic converter coupled to the turbine outlet passage. Further, the housing assembly includes a compressor housing integrated with a compressor inlet passage in fluid communication with a compressor volute configured to house a compressor wheel coupled to the turbine wheel, the compressor inlet passage including a wall that is shared with the compressor volute.
