A turbomachine includes a housing with an e-machine housing. Also, the turbomachine includes a rotating group supported for rotation within the housing. Moreover, the turbomachine includes an e-machine that is configured as at least one of an electric motor and an electric generator, that is operatively coupled to the rotating group, and that includes a stator that is housed within the e-machine housing. Furthermore, the turbomachine includes a thermal bridge member that extends between the stator and the e-machine housing to define a thermal path for heat to transfer from the stator to the e-machine housing. The e-machine housing includes a thermal bridge retainer member that defines an outer boundary of the thermal bridge member.

A turbocharger having a variable-nozzle turbine formed by pivotable vanes supported by a nozzle ring includes a locator that is radially elastically deformable and is disposed between a radially outwardly facing surface of the center housing and an opposing surface of the nozzle ring for radially locating the nozzle ring relative to the center housing. At least one vent is defined in either a radially outermost surface of the locator or the surface of the nozzle ring to allow pressure communication between spaces on axially opposite sides of the locator.
