Zusammenfassung:A bearing housing (12) for a turbocharger (10) includes a split (60) defining a first bearing housing segment (62) and a second bearing housing segment (64). At least one channel (74, 84) for transporting fluid within the bearing housing (12) crosses the split (60) such that the channel (74, 84) extends within the first bearing housing segment (62) and the second bearing housing segment (64). A dowel (82, 92) having a hollow interior is inserted in the channel (74, 84) to align the first and second bearing housing segments (62, 64) and allows fluid to flow through the channel (74, 84).
