A compressor housing for a turbocharger may include an outer volute having an outer volute inner surface with a clamp groove defined therein, and an inner volute having an inner volute outer surface and an axially facing surface. The inner volute is inserted into the outer volute through the outer volute inner surface with the inner volute outer surface facing the outer volute inner surface. The inner volute is positioned with the axially facing surface disposed axially inward of the clamp groove. A clamp plate includes a radially outward portion inserted into the clamp groove and a radially inward portion extending downward past the inner volute outer surface. The clamp groove and the axially facing surface engage the clamp plate to retain the inner volute within the outer volute when an axial load is applied to the inner volute.
