Abstract
A turbocharger includes a bearing portion having an end as an inner end surface located within a turbine housing in a penetrating direction of a bearing hole; a shaft rotatably supported in the bearing hole, one end thereof located within the turbine housing and the other end thereof located outside the turbine housing; an attaching plate fixed to the shaft, including an inner facing surface facing the inner end surface in an axial direction of the shaft; and a valve coupled to the shaft via the attaching plate to open and close a flow path opened to an internal space of the turbine housing. An inner radial groove is formed in at least one of the inner end surface and the inner facing surface. The inner radial groove extends in the radial direction of the shaft to allow a part of an exhaust gas flowing within the turbine housing to flow therethrough.
