What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo retains a turbocharger architecture that has been adapted to accommodate internal modifications. Depending on the upgrade package, these may involve the compressor wheel, its dimensions, the geometry of the blades, the machining of the housing, the thrust bearing system or the balancing.

The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and the air flow rate d. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: its mechanical integrity and its suitability for the engine tuning are crucial.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This manufacturing process alone does not guarantee an increase in air flow rate d. A standard MFS wheel may retain a geometry equivalent to that d of the original.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as shiny as an MFS impeller Performance. It is not its appearance that determines its performance, but its geometry and its ability to move more d'air. An MFS impeller Performance can be designed with a specific diameter, profile or blade configuration. A higher airflow rate can contribute to power output when the engine is suitably tuned, though it does not guarantee a gain on its own.

Why does the blade geometry influence the air flow rate d?

The compressor impeller draws in and then compresses the air sent to the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and blade arrangement influence its aerodynamic behaviour. A suitable geometry can move more d air under certain conditions, but the result also depends on the casings, the turbine wheel, the boost pressure and the engine tuning. An increase in size can also alter the response time and the range d'of optimal use.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The 360° stop, documented at every production stage, distributes axial forces over a wide surface area. The rotor undergo d'high-speed balancing at 150,000 revolutions per minute on a Cimat VSR test bench to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. However, this balancing does not compensate for incorrect installation, inadequate lubrication or the presence d of a foreign object.

Engine remapping and preparation

Adjustments to the mapping and pressure control may be necessary for to make the most of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. Depending on the level of tuning, the fuel injection, intake air cooling d, the exhaust system, the clutch or the gearbox must also be checked and adjusted. The wastegate must be adjusted during installation and when remapping the ECU. The turbo alone does not guarantee a power increase.

Installation advice

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number marked on the original turbo d and compare it with the OEM and manufacturer part numbers in this data sheet. Also check the make, model, generation, engine type, power output of 130 hp, the production period and, where available, the engine code.. An identical engine specification is not always sufficient to confirm compatibility.

If in doubt, contact our team with the part number clearly visible on your original turbocharger d.
