Abstract

A turbocharger 1 includes a compressor housing 2 and a bearing housing 3. The compressor housing 2 has a shroud surface 221 and a diffuser surface 222. The bearing housing 3 has an opposite surface 311 facing the diffuser surface 222. An adhesion preventing part 4 is provided on at least one of the diffuser surface 222 and the opposite surface 311. The turbocharger 1 is configured so that compressed air spouts out from the adhesion preventing part 4 to the diffuser passage 15 by an ejector effect caused when compressed air passes through the diffuser passage 15.
