What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo utilises a turbocharger design adapted for to accommodate internal components that differ from the original configuration d. Depending on the upgrade stage, the modification may involve the compressor wheel, the housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing or even the balancing of the rotor.

The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and air flow d to the requirements d of an engine upgrade. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the geometry, dimensions, machining of the housings and the combination of components are all 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 of the d original.

An MFS wheel Performance is characterised by a geometry tailored to the tuning objective. For this product, the MFS wheel is documented as being lighter, larger and taller than the d original, with an advertised 15 per cent increase in compression capacity. The versions Stage 2 and Stage 3 use a compressor wheel oversized.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as efficient 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. A higher flow rate can contribute to power output when the engine is correctly tuned, though it does not in itself guarantee results.

Why does the geometry of the blades 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 the arrangement of its blades influence its aerodynamic behaviour and its ability to move air depending on the operating speed.

The result also depends on the housings, the turbine wheel, the boost pressure and the engine set-up. A larger wheel therefore does not automatically guarantee better performance in all conditions and may alter the turbocharger’s response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The 360° bearing stop, documented at each production stage, helps to distribute the axial forces exerted on the rotating assembly. It does not, however, d'replace the need for proper lubrication or d'correct installation.

The rotor is balanced at high speed, up to 150,000 rpm, on a Cimat VSR test bench. This process aims to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses, but does not protect the turbocharger against insufficient lubrication, contamination or incorrect installation.

Engine remapping and preparation

The engine management system must be adapted for to make full use of the characteristics d of a hybrid turbo. The wastegate must be adjusted when remapping the ECU.

Depending on the level of tuning, it is also advisable to check or d'adjust the fuel injection, exhaust system, cooling, boost pressure and, if necessary, the transmission. Fitting d'a hybrid turbo does not automatically guarantee a power gain without appropriate tuning.

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, body style, engine type, power output, mountingYear and engine code where available. An identical engine type does not always guarantee compatibility.
