What tubular EM is this?

[aelred]

I bought a couple of used tubular manifolds, one of them is an unkwon quantity.
I have not a clue what application is for. It is for a 20V 5 cylinder. I think it is a Leahman manifold.
It has a Sport head flange ie.: 2 studs per port. The turbo flange is for a KKK27 but there is no wastegate flange or exit.
Can anyone help me to identify it?
Thanks.

No ideas from anyone? Perhaps it really is an oddball!

Maybe it was used with an internally WG'd turbo?? But i have no idea what turbo that would be?? Are those sliding joints on it to?? So it doesnt crack up?

Well it looks like it would be used with a turbo with an integral wastegate, but it is flanged for a KKK, so unless it had a custom hot side housing with an integral WG??? its not that.

I was just reading up on some early type boost controls that did not use a WG but instead controlled boost by venting excess pressure from the pressurized inlet tract using a vent valve (something like a DV) maybe the motor it was on used something like this?................definately an oddball.

Slip joints, they take up expansion and yes help stop cracking.

How do those boogers not leak ?

Very odd looking manifold BTW - most peculiar !
