Abstract
A turbocharger for an internal combustion engine comprises an air intake, a compressor, a compressor housing (2), a plurality of bypass channels (1) formed in the compressor housing (2) providing a short cut to air from the air intake into the turbine, and elements for controlling the extent to which the bypass channels are open, for example by a slidable or rotatable sleeve (5) having a pattern of slots (6) corresponding to the pattern of channels. This results in increased stability and overall efficiency.
