An engine (E) of a saddle-riding type vehicle has an engine case that is substantially L-shaped by a cylinder block (42) being protruded upward from an upper face of a front portion of a crank case (40). An air cleaner (55) is disposed rearwardly of the cylinder block (42) and above the crank case (40). An outlet (72) through which blow-by gas (G) in the engine (E) is discharged is formed in the rear portion of the cylinder block (42). A case body (84) of the air cleaner (55) has a blow-by gas introduction port (86) through which the blow-by gas (G) is introduced into the air cleaner (55). The outlet (72) of the cylinder block (42) and the blow-by gas introduction port (86) of the case body (84) are connected by a connecting pipe (90). The blow-by gas introduction port (86) is disposed close to the cylinder block (42).

A turbocharger assembly having a turbine assembly and a compressor assembly that are coupled by a rotating shaft. The turbine assembly includes an exhaust incoming-flow duct configured to deliver exhaust gases to a turbine wheel in an annular flow-path. The turbine wheel redirects and discharges the exhaust gases in a direction that is substantially opposite to the incoming exhaust flow direction. The exhaust outgoing flow passes radially inside of the annular flow-path of the exhaust incoming-flow duct. The compressor assembly includes an air incoming-flow duct configured to deliver air to an impeller wheel. The impeller wheel compresses, redirects, and discharges the air in an annular flow-path in a direction that is substantially opposite to the incoming airflow direction. The air incoming flow passes radially inside of the annular flow-path of the air outgoing-flow duct.

A boost purge ejector tee arrangement is integrated into a turbocompressor associated with an engine and includes first and second passages, an inlet port and a nozzle. The first passage is formed into a housing of the turbocompressor and includes an outlet in communication with a turbocompressor inlet. The second passage is formed into the housing and includes a boost air inlet in communication with an internal outlet area of the turbocompressor and intersecting the first passage. The inlet port is associated with the housing and intersects the first passage. The nozzle is positioned in the first passage such that an outlet of the nozzle is proximate the intersection of the inlet port and first passage. During a boost mode of operation, the second passage is adapted to receive boost air flow, which flows through the nozzle thereby creating a vacuum and drawing purge through the inlet port.
