Abstract
A number of variations may include a method for increasing peak flow in a variable geometry turbine turbocharger comprising: by-passing fluid flow to a turbine impeller by forming at least one internal by-pass passage through at least one of a lower vane ring of a vane pack assembly or a turbine housing below the lower vane ring; providing a first end of a vane component within the at least one internal by-pass passage; and using the first end of the vane component as a rotary valve to control fluid flow through the at least one internal by-pass passage.
