🔍 Key Concepts

• Exhaust gas flow paths from each cylinder bank to the turbochargers • How arrows and shading in the illustration distinguish exhaust gas from inlet and compressed air • The purpose of keeping exhaust manifolds from separate banks either separate or combined before entering a turbocharger

💭 Think About

• Trace the shaded exhaust-gas paths starting at each cylinder bank manifold and follow the arrows all the way to each turbocharger turbine housing—does each turbo see gas from one bank or both? • Compare the upper and lower exhaust manifolds: do they remain isolated into different turbochargers, or do they merge into a common duct before the turbines? • Look closely where the exhaust ducts turn into the turbocharger turbine casings—can you see any crossover or mixing between the two sides?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which color/texture in the legend corresponds specifically to exhaust gas, not inlet or compressed air • Confirm whether there is any connection between the upper and lower exhaust ducts before they enter the turbochargers • Check carefully that you are looking at the turbine (exhaust) side, not the compressor (air) side, when deciding which bank feeds which turbocharger
