A rotor rotatably mounted within a turbocharger housing includes a turbine wheel and a shaft. The shaft connects the turbine wheel. The hub defines a turbine-wheel back-disk surface facing the portion of the housing containing the bearings, and the hub defines a blade-side surface. The turbine hub and the housing define a turbine-wheel back-disk cavity. The turbine hub forms a ring-shaped primary axial protrusion extending circularly around the turbine-wheel back-disk surface into a circular channel in the housing. The circular channel leads into a bypass that bypasses the turbine blades. A relief flow valve is placed in the bypass. The relief control valve is controlled to open when the bypass pressure is above a cutoff pressure, and close when it is below the cutoff pressure.

An assembly can include a turbine housing that defines a bore, a wastegate opening, a wastegate passage to one side of the wastegate opening and a chamber to another side of the wastegate opening and that includes a wastegate seat disposed about the wastegate opening; a rotatable wastegate shaft configured for receipt by the bore; a wastegate arm that extends from the wastegate shaft; and a wastegate plug that extends from the wastegate arm where the wastegate plug includes a seal surface that includes a toe end and a back end where the back end includes a radius of curvature that exceeds a radius of curvature of the toe end.

Turbine wastegate plug

A turbocharger assembly can include a center housing that includes a compressor side, a turbine side, a bore that extends between the compressor side and the turbine side and a socket at the compressor side; a journal bearing disposed in the bore; and a lubricant deflector disposed at least partially in the socket. Various other examples of devices, assemblies, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
