Abstract

A turbocharger for an internal combustion engine includes a center housing, a shaft rotatably supported in the center housing, and a turbine wheel connected at one end of the shaft. A turbine housing is connected to the center housing and disposed around the turbine wheel. A bore formed in the turbine housing extends from a gas outlet end of the turbine housing to an annular stop surface of the turbine housing disposed adjacent the turbine wheel. A nozzle ring disposed in the bore surrounds a portion of the turbine wheel. An outlet cone is disposed at least partially in the bore and surrounds a remaining portion of the turbine wheel. The outlet cone is connected to the gas outlet end of the turbine housing.
