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.

A turbocharger system can include a housing that includes a through bore, a plurality of lubricant bores, a plurality of lubricant bore to through bore openings and a recessed compressor-side surface that defines in part a passage that fluidly couples at least two of the lubricant bores; a rolling element bearing unit disposed at least in part in the through bore of the housing; and, a plate that covers at least a portion of the recessed compressor-side surface of the housing.
