Abstract
There is provided a variable flow turbocharger comprising a turbine chamber (22) within which a turbine (14) is mounted for rotation, an inlet passageway (20) arranged around the turbine chamber (22) for introducing exhaust gas into the turbine chamber (22), and an outlet passageway (24) extending from the turbine chamber (22) for discharging the exhaust gas. There is provided a movable wall member (16a) whose position relative to the turbine (14) is adjustable to vary the geometry of the turbine chamber (22) at an outlet side of the turbine (14) close to the outlet passageway (24).
