Article on 2.0t Sonata manifold/turbo

This is a real nice article on the production and design of the exhaust manifold/turbo found on the new 2.0t sonata. Also has a bit on the changes to the engine.

Thanks to B1gBaller for finding this.

Yeah that is pretty sweet that they could meet the right tolerances through the new process but man talk about limiting initial upgrade potential!
