A torque converter, including an impeller including an impeller shell with an inner surface, an outer surface facing opposite the inner surface, a first radial portion substantially orthogonal to an axis of rotation for the torque converter, and an axial portion substantially parallel to the axis, extending from the radial portion, forming a radially outmost portion of the impeller shell, and having a first thickness. The shell includes a curved portion including a first protrusion, second and third protrusions radially inward of the first protrusion, a first portion between the radial portion and the first protrusion, and a junction portion connecting the radial portion and the first portion and having a second thickness at least 50 percent greater than the first thickness.
