A variable inlet area turbine employs a volute with a discharge area for flow of exhaust gas carried in the volute into a turbine inlet area. A flexible dividing wall having an end is movable along a path defined adjacent the turbine inlet area and transitioning in a smooth curve into an outer wall of the volute. The dividing wall is selectively positionable by insertion and withdrawal along the path to vary the discharge area from substantially closed to substantially open. |
