What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo retains an architecture compatible with its application whilst allowing for internal modifications. Depending on the tuning, these may involve the compressor wheel, blade geometry, housings, turbine wheel, thrust bearing system or balancing.

The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and air flow rate d. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel: the precise characteristics of this modification are not documented here.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’ and refers to a wheel machined from a solid block. This manufacturing process alone does not guarantee an increase in air flow rate d'. A standard MFS impeller may retain a geometry equivalent to that d of the original, whilst an MFS Performance impeller may adopt a geometry tailored to the tuning objective.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as glossy 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. The presence and type of MFS impeller fitted to this product are not specified in the available information.

Why does the geometry of the blades influence the air flow rate d?

The compressor impeller draws in and then compresses the air admitted by the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and blade arrangement all influence its aerodynamic behaviour. The result also depends on the casings, the turbine impeller, the boost pressure and the engine tuning. A larger impeller therefore does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

Rotor balancing helps to limit vibrations and mechanical stresses at high speeds. A 360° thrust bearing, where fitted, can distribute axial forces more effectively. However, the presence d of such a bearing and the d balancing data for this product are not documented.

Engine remapping and preparation

Operating d'a hybrid turbocharger may require adjustments to the engine management system. The mapping, boost pressure, fuel supply, d'intake air cooling, the exhaust system and the transmission must be checked depending on the vehicle and the level of tuning. The installation d'of a hybrid turbo alone does not guarantee a power increase.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the turbo’s part number d(original), the OEM or manufacturer part numbers, the model Bmw, its generation, body type, engine type, power output hp, theYear and the engine code.. An identical engine type does not always guarantee compatibility.
