Abstract
An engine system includes an engine with a crankshaft. The crankshaft is rotatable about a crankshaft axis that is defined in a first plane. A turbocharger includes a turbine and a compressor. The turbine is configured to be driven by an exhaust gas flow from the engine and drive the compressor about a common turbocharger axis. An included angle defined between a projection of the common turbocharger axis onto the first plane and the crankshaft axis is an acute angle.
