🔍 Key Concepts

• Use the illustration legend to distinguish exhaust gas, inlet air, and compressed air flow paths. • Identify which components are the compressor outlets (charge air discharge) of each turbocharger and which pipes are the intake manifolds for each cylinder bank. • Notice whether the compressed air lines from each turbocharger connect only to one bank, cross over to the opposite bank, or join a common manifold feeding both banks.

💭 Think About

• Starting at the compressor wheel of the right-side turbocharger, follow only the compressed air (not the exhaust) using the shading pattern. Which cylinder bank(s) does that piping clearly connect to? • Repeat the process for the left-side turbocharger. Does its compressed air discharge go to the same place as the right turbo, the opposite bank, or its own separate bank? • Look at the number of discharge connections from each turbocharger to the intake manifolds. Do you see one outlet per turbo going to a single bank, two outlets per turbo going to both banks, or lines crossing over to the opposite bank?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you are tracing the correct medium by checking the legend for the texture representing compressed air. • Confirm whether there is a common compressed-air manifold that both turbos feed, or clearly separate manifolds for each bank. • Before choosing, re-check that you are not confusing the exhaust gas manifolds (from the cylinders to the turbine) with the charge air manifolds (from the compressor to the cylinders).
