through an intercooler is problematic insofar as the deposition of exhaust gas particles in the intercooler substantially reduces its life expectancy fig2 shows schematically like fig1 a turbocharged internal combustion engine wherein the same components are indicated by the same reference numeral and for similar components the respective reference numerals are used but are provided with apostrophes the turbocharged internal combustion engine 1 comprises two exhaust gas turbochargers 2 and 3 39 which are arranged in parallel and each of which includes a turbine 4 6 39 with an inlet end 8 10 39 and an outlet end 9 11 39 and a compressor 5 7 39 with a pressure side 12 14 39 and a suction side 13 15 39 the inlet end 8 10 39 of each turbine 4 6 39 is in communication with a conduit portion 20 21 of an exhaust gas conduit 22 which is connected to the exhaust 23 of the internal combustion engine 1 the turbine 6 39 of the second exhaust gas turbocharger 3 39 includes a control arrangement 25 for controlling the exhaust gas flow through the turbine 6 39 which control arrangement consists of a variable flow guide structure 24 39 at the turbine inlet end of the second exhaust gas turbocharger 3 39 there is an additional compressor 36 which includes an impeller mounted on the turbine shaft adjacent the turbine wheel of the turbine 6 39 an exhaust gas recirculation conduit 26 39 extending from the conduit portion.
