Abstract
A wastegate assembly includes a valve arm moveable between a first position and a second position to control flow of exhaust gas to a turbine housing interior of a turbocharger. The valve arm includes a proximal end, a distal end spaced from the proximal end, and a valve arm orientation projection spaced from the distal end and extending away from the proximal end. The wastegate assembly also includes a valve body coupled to the distal end of the valve arm that is moveable with the valve arm. The valve body includes a valve body orientation component, and the orientation projection of the valve arm extends toward and is orientable with the orientation component of the valve body to orient the valve arm relative to the valve body. The valve body is disposed between the orientation projection of the valve arm and the distal end of the valve arm.
