A turbocharging assembly is described. The turbocharging assembly includes a compressor having a compressor wheel and a turbine having a turbine wheel. The turbine wheel and the compressor wheel are mounted back-to-back on a shaft. The shaft is coupled to a power converter provided in front of the compressor wheel. Additionally, the turbocharging assembly includes a housing extension encasing the power converter. The housing extension is connected with a compressor housing. The power converter includes a rotor and a stator. The stator is mounted to the housing extension. Further, the turbocharging assembly includes a filter silencer arranged between the compressor and the power converter. Yet further, the turbocharging assembly includes a blower mounted to the shaft. The blower is arranged at a side of the power converter facing away from the compressor.
