Abstract
A diverter for a divided volute turbocharger has a rotatable diverter member in one volute passageway of the turbocharger. The diverter member is rotatable between a first position in which the flow of gas through the associated volute passageway is unimpeded by the diverter member, and a second position in which the diverter member blocks the associated volute passageway and causes the gas from that passageway to flow through an interconnection passageway into the other volute passageway. If desired, the diverter member may block the interconnection passageway while the diverter member is in the first position.
