Abstract
A turbine housing assembly can include a turbine housing that defines a rotational axis for a turbine wheel; and a cartridge receivable by the turbine housing, where the cartridge includes a nozzle wall component with an upper nozzle surface and a plate component with a lower nozzle surface, where the upper nozzle surface and the lower nozzle surface define a nozzle space, and vanes positioned in the nozzle space, where the vanes are pivotable between a closed vanes position of 0 percent open and a fully open vanes position of 100 percent open, and where, for a vanes position of at least 50 percent open and less than 75 percent open, an axial dimension of the nozzle space increases with respect to decreasing radius as measured from the rotational axis.
