Abstract
The present invention provides a turbocharger that prevents a seizure of a shaft member, prevents a leakage of exhaust gas, suppresses deterioration of components, and reduces a number of components. The turbocharger includes a waste gate valve which is connected to the shaft member rotatably supported by penetrating a support hole of the turbine housing. The waste gate valve includes an inclined surface formed at a portion facing an opening of a bypass passage. When the waste gate valve is opened, exhaust gas flown into the bypass passage presses the inclined surface, thrust force is applied to the shaft member in a shaft direction, and a seal contact portion is pressed against a peripheral edge of the support hole via a seal member.
