Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention may include a turbocharger having a turbine, a turbine housing, a variable valve, a first plate, a second plate and a heat shield member. The turbine housing accommodates the turbine and has a flow path. The variable valve rotates about each pivot member provided thereon, thereby adjusting the flow velocity of fluid guided from the flow path to the turbine. The first plate supports one end of each pivot member, and defines the flow path. The second plate supports the other end of each pivot member or the variable valves, and defines the flow path. The heat shield member covers a wall surface of the turbine housing, and defines the flow path.
