Sounds No bueno…cast heads with some how casting the turbo into the shitty cast heads?

Sounds like a terrible recipe if you would like to upgrade your vehicle.

It looks like 1 casting instead of a multitude of pieces.

Just saying that’d make me worry even more on a new platform. Perhaps if they were prone to cracking / stress fractures with boost (or added boost). Would imagine that would severely limit any aftermarket turbo options as well without going deep into your coin.

Any problems, you'll be replacing the whole thing. Ouch!

Sounds interesting but I don’t know. I guess until this technology is proven, I’m skeptical.

Better get double catch cans with turbo boost immersed in oil bath. LOL. But on a serious note I fail to see the advantage for the consumer.

I don't think that it's for the consumer advantage. More like assembly line speed with robots?

Perfect opportunity to get in on the ground floor of aftermarket parts for this thing. Cast new heads without turbo to accept aftermarket turbines and/or a service to chop the turbo housing off the OEM head and then machine the head to accept various aftermarket turbos.
