Abstract
An internal combustion engine with a turbocharger that can favorably prevent an exhaust gas purifying catalyst from being clogged with a manganese oxide contained in an exhaust gas is provided. The internal combustion engine includes a turbocharger that includes a turbine disposed in an exhaust passage, the turbine being operative by exhaust energy of the internal combustion engine; an upstream catalyst, disposed in the exhaust passage at a downstream side of the turbine, for purifying an exhaust gas; an exhaust bypass passage for bypassing the turbine; and a waste gate valve for opening or closing the exhaust bypass passage. The waste gate valve is controlled to be in an open state during performance of a fuel cut of the internal combustion engine.
