Complete Turbocharger with Turbine's
Hot Section on bottom (black); with Compressor's
Cool Section above, represented
by the Bearing housing (gold), and Compressor housing (gray). Red
caps cover ends of oil line connections for Turbocharger's bearings, until ready for assembly to
engine. The Turbine Section and the Compressor Section (gray) with bearing housing
(gold) are held
together by a high strength clamp with a tapered inner band that pulls the two
sections tightly together, thanks to a matching external taper flange on both
the Turbine housing and the bearing housing.
