Abstract
A vane for a turbine assembly of a turbocharger includes a first airfoil that includes a length between a leading edge and a trailing edge, a second airfoil that includes a length between a leading edge and a trailing edge where the length of the first airfoil optionally differs from the length of the second airfoil, and one or more intra-vane throats defined at least in part by the first airfoil and the second airfoil. Various other examples of devices, assemblies, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
