Abstract
An exhaust gas turbocharger for an internal-combustion engine has a turbine wheel which is arranged in a housing of the exhaust gas turbocharger and to which exhaust gas can be fed by way of a flow duct constructed in the housing. A variable baffle is provided for adjusting the flow cross-section of the flow duct. In order to equip the exhaust gas turbocharger with a braking function at low manufacturing and mounting expenditures, the baffle is movably accommodated in a matrix which is detachably held on the housing. The baffle and the matrix form an exchangeable braking module.
