A turbine housing of a turbocharger for receiving exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine of a vehicle and for delivering compressed air to the internal combustion engine, said turbine housing comprising: a turbine inlet wall defining an inlet passage configured to be in fluid communication with the internal combustion engine for receiving exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine; an exducer shroud wall defining an exducer interior disposed downstream of and in fluid communication with said inlet passage for receiving exhaust gas from said inlet passage; a turbine outlet wall defining an outlet passage disposed downstream of and in fluid communication with said exducer interior for receiving exhaust gas from said exducer interior; a wastegate port wall defining a wastegate channel disposed downstream of and in fluid communication with said inlet passage for discharging exhaust gas from said inlet passage to said outlet passage by bypassing said exducer interior, with said wastegate port wall defining a wastegate channel outlet disposed downstream of said wastegate channel for discharging exhaust gas into said outlet passage; a bushing wall coupled to said wastegate port wall and defining a bushing boss extending along a bushing axis, with said bushing wall being spaced from said turbine inlet wall such that said wastegate port wall is disposed between said bushing wall and said turbine inlet wall; and a valve seat disposed about said wastegate channel at said wastegate channel outlet of said wastegate channel; wherein said wastegate port wall is disposed outside of said exducer interior such that said wastegate port wall and said bushing wall are configured to be thermally decoupled from said turbine inlet wall and such that relative displacement between said valve seat and said bushing axis is reduced during operation of the turbocharger; characterized in that said valve seat extends along a valve seat plane, wherein said bushing axis and said valve seat plane define a distance therebetween, and wherein said distance is 30 millimeters or less. a turbine inlet wall defining an inlet passage configured to be in fluid communication with the internal combustion engine for receiving exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine; an exducer shroud wall defining an exducer interior disposed downstream of and in fluid communication with said inlet passage for receiving exhaust gas from said inlet passage; a turbine outlet wall defining an outlet passage disposed downstream of and in fluid communication with said exducer interior for receiving exhaust gas from said exducer interior; a wastegate port wall defining a wastegate channel disposed downstream of and in fluid communication with said inlet passage for discharging exhaust gas from said inlet passage to said outlet passage by bypassing said exducer interior, with said wastegate port wall defining a wastegate channel outlet disposed downstream of said wastegate channel for discharging exhaust gas into said outlet passage; a bushing wall coupled to said wastegate port wall and defining a bushing boss extending along a bushing axis, with said bushing wall being spaced from said turbine inlet wall such that said wastegate port wall is disposed between said bushing wall and said turbine inlet wall; and a valve seat disposed about said wastegate channel at said wastegate channel outlet of said wastegate channel; wherein said wastegate port wall is disposed outside of said exducer interior such that said wastegate port wall and said bushing wall are configured to be thermally decoupled from said turbine inlet wall and such that relative displacement between said valve seat and said bushing axis is reduced during operation of the turbocharger; characterized in that said valve seat extends along a valve seat plane, wherein said bushing axis and said valve seat plane define a distance therebetween, and wherein said distance is 30 millimeters or less.
