A turbocharger is provided having a bearing housing () and a heat shield () staked thereto. The staking process can be a compression staking process that deforms one or more portions of the bearing housing (). The bearing housing () can have an annular channel () and the compression staking can be done to an outer edge () of the annular channel () to form one or more compression projections (). The size and shape of the annular channel () can be substantially the same as the size and shape of an outer portion of the heat shield () to allow for a press-fit therebetween.
