A turbocharger includes a backflow passage that returns a part of gas flowing through a compressor wheel to a suction passage. The turbocharger includes an exhaust opening formed in a wall portion of an exhaust passage inside a compressor housing and that opens the exhaust passage to the outside of the compressor housing, a suction opening formed in a wall portion of the suction passage inside the compressor housing and that opens the suction passage to the outside of the compressor housing, and a backflow pipe of which one end is connected to the exhaust opening and the other end is connected to the suction opening and has the backflow passage inside thereof. In a state where the backflow pipe is removed from the exhaust opening and the suction opening, the suction opening is formed at a position at which the suction opening is visible when seen from a position opposite to the exhaust opening.
