Experimental collector.

As an experiment, I decided to make an exhaust manifold, retaining the stock air filter. Here's what happened. It did not work to check the operation at full load, as 24 7400 broke.

Looks like the turbo has seen better days. The compressor wheel is all corroded.

So what happened? It looks like a cool idea.
The turbo failure was not caused by the new exhaust manifold was it?

It seems that the turbine was stored in a humid room, and as SteveH wrote above, corrosion appeared. I will temporarily put k24 7000, while 24 7400 will be under repair.

Did you check the compressor side before running it with the new manifold? It looks like some of the missing pieces have been gone for some time, as the crack lines are already corroded.

Yes, I opened the compressor housing. The compressor wheel was intact, but with corrosion. Perhaps it already had cracks that were invisible.

manifold looks like an interesting design
