Abstract
A turbocharger includes a turbine housing and a wastegate. The turbine housing has an accommodation space, is which a turbine wheel is accommodated. The accommodation space is connected to a scroll passage, which draws exhaust gas from the outside of the turbine housing, and a connection passage, which discharges exhaust gas from the accommodation space. The connection passage is connected to a merging passage, which discharges exhaust gas to the outside of the turbine housing. The merging passage is connected to a bypass passage, which bypasses the accommodation space. The central axis of an outlet portion of the connection passage is inclined with respect to the rotation axis of the turbine wheel toward the side on which an outlet portion of the bypass passage is located.
