The exhaust manifold has an inlet port connected to each cylinder and an output port upon which the turbine is secured. The exhaust gas control apparatus includes at least one seal positioned between two adjacent inlet ports, each seal being articulated relative to the exhaust manifold and being capable of sealing one of the two adjacent inlet ports to reduce the internal volume of the exhaust manifold available for the flow of exhaust gas. The apparatus of the invention makes it possible to reduce the internal volume of the exhaust manifold according to the engine cycle. By doing so, most of the kinetic energy of the exhaust gases is channelled towards the turbine; this is in contrast with a traditional exhaust manifold whereby a part of the kinetic and thermal energy of the exhaust gases is dissipated within the internal volume of all the inlet ports of the exhaust manifold.	07-09-2009
