ABSTRACT:
A valve construction is provided for use in controlling fluid flow to a plurality of intake passageways. The valve construction is particularly suitable for use in an internal combustion engine to control the flow of exhaust gases to a turbocharger, the latter having a plurality of intake passageways communicating with the turbine section thereof. The valve construction includes a housing having an inlet for the engine exhaust gases and an outlet communicating with the intake passageways. Disposed within the housing and intermediate the inlet and outlet thereof is an adjustable valve piece which is adapted to be moved to selected positions of adjustment relative to said housing. When the valve piece is in a first selected position, exhaust gases flow through the housing to a first predetermined number of intake passageways. When the valve piece is adjusted to a second selected position, exhaust gases flow through the housing to a second predetermined number of intake passageways. The first predetermined number is of greater magnitude than the second predetermined number.
