Abstract
Abstract Resonance of a compressor impeller is prevented even when there are any pulsations in exhaust gas from an engine. An annular chamber in a diffuser defining wall of the compressor is connected with an outlet of a circulation passage for leading part of exhaust gas. An inner periphery of the chamber is communicated with the diffuser through an annular slit.
