Abstract
A turbocharger having an exhaust gas driven turbine for driving a compressor which supplies high pressure charge air to an internal combustion engine. A turbine wheel rotates within a turbine housing having a gas inlet and a gas outlet for circulation of exhaust gases to drive the turbine. The exhaust gases exit through a gas discharge housing mounted on the turbine housing and including a bypass chamber communicating with the gas inlet. A turbine bypass valve on the discharge housing is controllably actuated to seat on the turbine housing to close the bypass chamber.
