A turbocharger having a turbine with a wastegate, and a compressor including a compressor housing, a compressor wheel, and a wastegate actuator. The turbine wheel includes blades defining an inlet. The compressor housing has an inlet wall leading to the inlet, and a shroud wall surrounding the blades. The actuator includes a base that is integral with the inlet wall, and an electric motor that is attached to the base. The shroud wall forms a first port that is in direct fluid communication with the actuator chamber, and the inlet wall forms a second port that is in direct fluid communication with the actuator chamber. Air from the first port to passes through the actuator housing and out the second port. This airflow convectively cools the working components of the actuator, while the connection of the motor to the inlet wall conductively cools the motor.

1. A compressor, comprising: a compressor housing;a compressor wheel rotatably mounted within the compressor housing, the wheel including a hub and a plurality of blades, each blade extending out from the hub and defining a leading edge and an outer edge, wherein the blade leading edges in rotation establish a compressor inlet; andan actuator including an actuator housing forming an actuator chamber, and an actuation mechanism;wherein the compressor housing forms an inlet wall defining an inlet passageway leading to the compressor inlet;wherein the compressor housing forms a shroud wall closely conforming to the blade outer edges;wherein the shroud wall forms a first port that is in direct fluid communication with the actuator chamber; andwherein the inlet wall forms a second port that is in direct fluid communication with the actuator chamber. 2. The compressor of claim 1, wherein the actuator forms a cooling passageway serially connecting the first port to the second port, the cooling passageway extending over a thermally significant portion of the actuation mechanism. 3. The compressor of claim 2, wherein the first and second ports are sized and located to permit an amount of air adequate to cool the actuator over a range of operating conditions covering the envelope of operating conditions over which the compressor is configured to operate. 4. The compressor of claim 2, wherein the actuator housing contains an electric motor, a gear and a position sensor, and wherein the thermally significant portion of the actuation mechanism includes one or more surfaces of at least one of the electric motor, the gear and the position sensor. 5. The compressor of claim 1, wherein the compressor housing is integral with a base of the actuator housing. 6. The compressor of claim 1, wherein the actuator housing contains an electric motor, wherein the electric motor is thermally coupled to a motor-surface of the compressor housing, and wherein the motor-surface of the compressor housing is on the inlet wall. 7. The compressor of claim 5, wherein the inlet wall forms a flow director within the inlet at a location thermally adjoining the motor-surface. 8. The compressor of claim 7, wherein the electric motor is thermally coupled to the motor-surface of the compressor housing a mechanically resilient thermocouple material providing significant vibration damping between the motor and the motor-surface. 9. The compressor of claim 5, wherein the electric motor is thermally coupled to the motor-surface of the compressor housing a mechanically resilient thermocouple material providing significant vibration damping between the motor and the motor-surface. 10. A turbocharger, comprising the compressor of claim 1, and a turbine, wherein the turbine includes a wastegate, and wherein the actuator actuates a valve of the wastegate. 11. A compressor, comprising: a compressor housing;a compressor wheel rotatably mounted within the compressor housing, the wheel including a hub and a plurality of blades, each blade extending out from the hub and defining a leading edge and an outer edge, wherein the blade leading edges in rotation establish an compressor inlet; andan actuator including an actuator housing forming an actuator chamber, and an actuation mechanism;wherein the compressor housing forms an inlet wall defining an inlet passageway leading to the compressor inlet; andwherein the actuator housing contains an electric motor, wherein the electric motor is thermally coupled to a motor-surface of the compressor housing, and wherein the motor-surface of the compressor housing is on the inlet wall. 12. The compressor of claim 11, wherein the inlet wall forms a flow director within the inlet at a location thermally adjoining the motor-surface. 13. The compressor of claim 12, wherein the electric motor is thermally coupled to the motor-surface of the compressor housing a mechanically resilient thermocouple material providing significant vibration damping between the motor and the motor-surface. 14. The compressor of claim 11, wherein the electric motor is thermally coupled to the motor-surface of the compressor housing a mechanically resilient thermocouple material providing significant vibration damping between the motor and the motor-surface. 15. A turbocharger, comprising the compressor of claim 11, and a turbine, wherein the turbine includes a wastegate, and wherein the actuator actuates a valve of the wastegate.
