1. An exhaust-driven turbo-supercharger for an internal combustion engine, comprising a turbine wheel and a turbine casing surrounding said wheel, said casing having an inflow opening and an outflow opening for the flow of exhaust gases of the engine, said casing having at the inflow side thereof means substantially concentric with the axis of the turbine wheel defining a radially internal spiral path and a radially external spiral path, said paths having inlets opening into said inflow opening of the exhaust-driven turbo-supercharger, a control element for varying the cross-section of said inlet of said radially external path, said means comprising a common partition wall rigidly mounted to said casing, said wall extending about the entire circumferential area of said turbine wheel, the flow cross-section of said radially external path decreasing in the direction of flow of the exhaust, said partition wall in the direction of exhaust flow having a plurality of orifice areas located one behind the other for interconnecting the flow between said internal and external paths, and said orifice areas being spaced apart an equal angular distance from one another in the exhaust flow direction relative to said turbine wheel axis.
