A turbocharger includes a turbine housing and a wastegate assembly. The turbine housing has a wastegate duct defining a wastegate channel and a valve seat disposed about the wastegate channel. The wastegate assembly has a valve body engageable with the valve seat and a shaft fixed to the valve body at a connection interface for selectively engaging the valve body with the valve seat at a first plane. The connection interface has a centroid and a second plane tangential to the centroid. A second axis is normal to the second plane and is angularly tilted relative to a first axis normal to the first plane at which the valve body and the valve seat are engaged.
