Patent ID: 7234302

Claim:
A turbocharger and exhaust manifold system comprising a turbine housing ( 6 , 7 , 22 ) defining a rotor space ( 15 ) for receiving and accommodating a turbine rotor ( 18 ); an exhaust gas manifold of a combustion motor ( 20 ), said exhaust gas manifold including a branch pipe ( 4 ′) that connects said turbine housing ( 6 , 7 , 22 ) to at least one piece ( 3 , 4 ) of said exhaust gas manifold, wherein a portion of the branch pipe ( 4 ′) extends into at least a portion of the turbine housing ( 6 ); wherein the turbine housing ( 6 , 7 , 22 ) and at least the branch pipe ( 4 ′) for the connection with the exhaust gas manifold piece ( 3 , 4 ) are made of sheet metal, and wherein the exhaust gas manifold pieces ( 3 , 4 ) are in thermal connection with said turbine housing ( 6 , 7 , 22 ), wherein the thermal connection is at least partially realized by a sliding connection.
