An turbocharger cartridge and engine cylinder head assembly includes a turbocharger cartridge that includes some but not all of the components of a turbocharger, while the engine cylinder head provides the components of the turbocharger that are not included in the cartridge. The cartridge includes a center housing rotating assembly having a shaft that joins a turbine wheel to a compressor wheel, the shaft passing through bearings housed in the center housing. The engine cylinder head defines a receptacle that receives the cartridge. The head also defines a diffuser and volute for the compressor, and a turbine volute. The cartridge defines a turbine nozzle and turbine contour, and further includes a wastegate unit as a part of the cartridge.

1. A turbocharger cartridge for insertion into a receptacle defined in an engine cylinder head, comprising: a center housing defining a bore therethrough, bearings housed in the bore, a shaft rotatably supported in the bearings, a compressor wheel affixed to one end of the shaft, and a turbine wheel
1. A turbocharger cartridge for insertion into a receptacle defined in an engine cylinder head, comprising: a center housing defining a bore therethrough, bearings housed in the bore, a shaft rotatably supported in the bearings, a compressor wheel affixed to one end of the shaft, and a turbine wheel affixed to an opposite end of the shaft; anda wastegate unit mounted to the center housing and operable for allowing exhaust gas to bypass the turbine wheel when the wastegate unit is open, wherein the wastegate unit includes a wastegate housing, a portion of the wastegate housing defining a bore into which an end of the center housing is received. 2. The turbocharger cartridge of claim 1, further comprising a separate heat shield captured between the center housing and the wastegate housing. 3. The turbocharger cartridge of claim 1, wherein said portion of the wastegate housing further defines a turbine nozzle. 4. The turbocharger cartridge of claim 3, wherein said portion of the wastegate housing further defines vanes for the turbine nozzle. 5. A wastegate for a turbocharger, comprising: a main housing defining a passage therethrough;a housing insert comprising a generally tubular member that is disposed in the passage of the main housing such that an interior of the housing insert defines a central flow passage, an annular space between an outer surface of the housing insert and an inner surface of the main housing defining an annular flow passage that surrounds the central flow passage; anda valve seat and a valve member arranged in the annular space between the main housing and the housing insert;wherein the main housing includes a portion that is generally tubular and extends upstream beyond the housing insert, said portion defining an aperture extending substantially 360 degrees about said portion and extending from a radially outer surface to a radially inner surface of said portion, and wherein a plurality of circumferentially spaced vanes extend across said aperture, said aperture and vanes comprising a turbine nozzle for the turbocharger. 6. The wastegate of claim 5, wherein said portion further defines a turbine contour. 7. The wastegate of claim 5, wherein the main housing includes one or more flanges configured to be affixed to a portion of an engine cylinder head. 8. The wastegate of claim 5, wherein the wastegate comprises a rotary valve, the valve member being in abutting engagement with the valve seat, each of the valve seat and the valve member having a plurality of circumferentially spaced orifices, the valve member being rotatable about an axis to vary an alignment between the orifices of the valve member and the orifices of the valve seat, from no alignment to maximum alignment, in order to vary a degree of openness of the rotary valve. 9. A turbocharger cartridge and engine cylinder head assembly, comprising: a turbocharger cartridge forming a unit that comprises: a center housing rotating assembly comprising a center housing defining a bore therethrough, bearings housed in the bore, a shaft rotatably supported in the bearings, a compressor wheel affixed to one end of the shaft, and a turbine wheel affixed to an opposite end of the shaft;a housing member that defines a turbine nozzle and a turbine contour; anda wastegate unit operable for allowing exhaust gas to bypass the turbine wheel when the wastegate unit is open; andan engine cylinder head defining a receptacle for receiving the turbocharger cartridge, the engine cylinder head defining a diffuser for receiving and diffusing pressurized air from the compressor wheel, a compressor volute that receives the air from the diffuser, and a turbine volute for receiving exhaust gas from an engine;wherein the turbocharger cartridge and the receptacle in the engine cylinder head are configured so that the cartridge slides, compressor wheel first, into the receptacle in an axial direction until the compressor wheel is aligned with the diffuser and the turbine wheel is aligned with the turbine nozzle. 10. The turbocharger cartridge and engine cylinder head assembly of claim 9, further comprising seals between the cartridge and the engine cylinder head, the seals being compressed to seal interfaces between the turbocharger cartridge and the engine cylinder head. 11. The turbocharger cartridge and engine cylinder head assembly of claim 9, wherein the wastegate unit comprises a rotating bypass valve. 12. The turbocharger cartridge and engine cylinder head assembly of claim 9, wherein the wastegate unit comprises a wastegate housing, and wherein the wastegate housing and the housing member that defines the turbine nozzle and turbine contour are portions of a one-piece integral structure. 13. The turbocharger cartridge and engine cylinder head assembly of claim 12, wherein said one-piece integral structure defines an array of vanes extending across the turbine nozzle. 14. The turbocharger cartridge and engine cylinder head assembly of claim 12, wherein said one-piece integral structure includes a portion defining a bore that receives an end of the center housing. 15. The turbocharger cartridge and engine cylinder head assembly of claim 14, further comprising a separate heat shield captured between the end of the center housing and said portion defining said bore. 16. The turbocharger cartridge and engine cylinder head assembly of claim 9, further comprising a compressor contour plug defining a compressor inlet and compressor contour. 17. The turbocharger cartridge and engine cylinder head assembly of claim 16, wherein the compressor contour plug is a separately formed part from the engine cylinder head.
