Look what's coming.

VR 3.0 Twin Turbo V6
I'm assuming what they are talking about are the turbo exhaust housing and exhaust manifold are cast as one piece, some 3SGTE motors had it as well, it's not a very good idea in my opinion. These are VR38 turbos:mikey wrote:I've never heard of an integrated exhaust manifold. How does that work?!

Its become part of the cylinder head.
One of the most significant features in the all-new 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine is the adoption of a new
integrated exhaust manifold, built into the cylinder head, enabling engineers to position the catalytic converter
closer to the exhaust point. This results in a shorter flow path for the hot exhaust gases, allowing the catalytic
converter to heat up almost instantly – twice as fast as previous V6 engines – and reducing emissions from a
cold start.
Moving the catalytic converter closer to the exhaust point saves weight by making the engine more compact than before.
This design accounts for a 5.3kg (11.7lbs) reduction in weight.

... allows for the twin-turbo system to perform at up to 220,000 rpm – at steady condition and 240,000 rpm
at transient condition– higher than ever before for a V6 power unit.
