Abstract

See full text

A turbocharger (10) has an improved wastegate valve assembly (45) wherein a port-controlling valve body (44) includes flow formations which serve to reduce exhaust gas flow in non-optimal directions transverse to an optimal flow direction in the direction of a wastegate passage (26). These flow formations serve to optimize or maximize the flow of exhaust gas in the optimal or primary flow direction as the exhaust gas flow turns through a turn angle (47) from an inlet direction (29) to the optimal flow direction.
