The Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) has
actuated vanes in the turbine housing. The vanes
modify flow characteristics of exhaust gases through
the turbine housing. The benefit is the ability t o contro l
boost pressure for various engine speeds and load
conditions. An additional benefit is lower emissions.
