Abstract
Device for controlling the engine braking power of an internal combustion engine (1) in a motor vehicle, which is equipped with a compression braking device arranged in brake mode to open the exhaust valves at the end of the induction stroke, at the end of the compression stroke or only at the latter, and an exhaust-driven turbocompressor unit (3) with a turbine portion (30), which has variable geometry to vary the degree of charge of the compressor (8). Restrictor valve elements (42) are arranged in the exhaust conduit (41) upstream of the turbine portion (30).
