ABSTRACT:
First and second waste gates respectively control the supercharging pressure of an engine supercharger and the pressure fed to an auxiliary turbine from the engine turbo-charger turbine. The scroll of the auxiliary turbine is divided by a partition into first and second passages which respectively receive the exhaust gases by-passed by the first waste gate and the exhaust gases from the turbo-charger turbine. The first waste gate prevents over pressurization of the engine cylinders while the second prevents the build up of excessive back pressure downstream of the turbo-charger turbine, thus maintaining the efficiency and torque output of the engine while still deriving benefit from the operation of the auxiliary turbine.
