Abstract
A turbocharger having a swing vane nozzle assembly—VGT—is provided. The turbocharger includes a turbine housing and a bearing housing. The swing vane nozzle assembly includes a front nozzle ring, a rear nozzle ring, and a plurality of pivotable gas flow control vanes arranged between the front nozzle ring and the rear nozzle ring. The rear nozzle ring is radially guided by the turbine housing, a radially outer portion of the front nozzle ring is clamped between the bearing housing and the turbine housing thus forming an axial guidance of the front nozzle ring, and an inner periphery of the front nozzle ring is arranged at a distance from the bearing housing.
