Patent ID: 7481056

Claim:
A turbocharger for an internal combustion engine comprising; a turbine housing; said turbine housing having a turbine rotor; said turbine housing having an inlet for directing exhaust gases from said internal combustion engine into said turbine housing; a fixed exhaust gas flow splitter in said inlet for dividing flow of exhaust gases entering said inlet; a flow control gate hinged to a downstream end of said flow splitter to move, said flow control gate having an outer side and an inner side; said flow control gate being timely pivotal from a neutral first position allowing substantial flow of inlet exhaust gas across said outer side and said inner side into said exhaust turbine, to a second position contiguous to said turbine rotor for creating and directing a higher velocity flow of said exhaust gases to said turbine rotor; and means to pivot said flow control gate to and from said first and second positions.
