Abstract

A flow direction system () for a turbocharger () or other fluid impeller device is provided that can reduce swirl or turbulence of exhaust gases being supplied to a turbine rotor (). The system () uses one or more ribs () or fins that extend from an inner surface () of an inlet () of the turbine housing () and that can be integrally formed with the inlet (). The ribs () can be diametrically opposed along the inner surface () and can extend less than half way across the inlet (). The ribs () can have chamfered leading or trailing edges to reduce drag.
