A waste gate assembly includes a waste gate conduit configured to receive exhaust gas. The waste gate conduit includes a first portion having a first inner diameter and a second portion having a second inner diameter and fluidly coupled to the upstream portion. The first inner diameter is less than the second inner diameter. Additionally, the waste gate assembly includes a waste gate valve operably coupled to the waste gate conduit and configured to move between an open position to permit a flow of the exhaust gas and a closed position to inhibit the flow of the exhaust gas.
