On all two wheel drive cars, (including the RS 500), the exhaust manifold is a sweeping, two piece design, that places the turbocharger high up, and next to the top of the engine. Due to its length and semi-circular design, resonation is created at certain engine speeds. To eliminate this, a turbo damper is fitted to the turbo and cylinder head.

I was also informed without the damper the manifold bolts can snap under the weight of the turbo and vibrations.
