Abstract
A turbine comprises a turbine housing defining a turbine inlet upstream of a turbine wheel and a turbine outlet downstream of the turbine wheel; a wastegate passage connecting the turbine inlet and the turbine outlet; and a wastegate valve comprising a movable valve member. The wastegate valve has an open state and a closed state. The valve member is mounted to an actuation member passing through an actuator conduit of the turbine housing, and movable so as to move the wastegate valve between the open and closed states. The turbine further comprises a sealing arrangement configured to provide a seal arranged to substantially prevent gas from passing from the turbine outlet into the actuator conduit. The sealing arrangement is configured such that when the valve member is urged into the closed state by the actuator member the sealing effectiveness of the sealing arrangement is increased.
