Turbocharger

A turbocharger comprising a heat shielding plate disposed between a center housing and a turbine housing, wherein the center housing rotatably and pivotally supports a rotating shaft that connects a turbine impeller and a compressor impeller, and the turbine housing houses the turbine impeller, the turbocharger comprising:

• a first flange portion formed to protrude toward an outer periphery on an opposing end side of the center housing to the turbine housing;
• a second flange portion formed corresponding to the first ange portion on an opposing end side of the turbine housing to the center housing;
• a clamp member combining the first flange portion and the second flange portion and fixing a mutual positional relationship;
• and
• a heat insulating ring interposed between a heat shielding plate fixing portion that fixes the heat shielding plate and the heat shielding plate on an inner peripheral side with respect to the first flange portion and the second flange portion.
