This hybrid turbocharger is available in three tuning levels, featuring a high-flow MFS compressor wheel, a 360° bearing stop and high-speed balancing. The modifications vary depending on the selected tuning stage in order dto adapt the air flow dand the turbocharger’s performance.
It is suitable for the applications documented at Fiat for 1.4 TD and 1.7 TD/TDS engines, notably the Fiorino, Palio Weekend, Punto Van, Strada Pickup and Uno.
This modification affects the compressor impeller in order dto adjust the compression capacity and air flow rate d, whilst retaining the other modifications specified for for this upgrade.
The reprofiling of the intake d’ housing allows d’ to fit the compressor wheel oversized. This configuration may alter the air flow d’ and the turbo’s response depending on the associated engine tuning.
This upgrade involves modifications to both the compressor and turbine sides. The sizing of the impellers and the re-profiling of the housings must be considered in relation to the overall engine configuration, as they can influence both flow rate and response time.
A hybrid turbo is based on a turbocharger architecture adapted for accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the stage, the modification may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the housings, the thrust bearing and balancing.
The aim is dto adapt the compression capacity and air flow rate d. A hybrid turbo is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel, but by the coherence of its geometry and the mechanical modifications carried out.
MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This manufacturing process alone does not guarantee an increase in airflow d. A standard MFS wheel may retain a geometry equivalent to that dof 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. On this product, the impeller shown is made of forged aluminium; it is lighter, larger and taller than the original, with a claimed 15 per cent higher compression capacity. However, its effective use depends don appropriate engine tuning.
The compressor impeller draws in and then compresses the air. Its diameter, profile, height, width and arrangement of its blades all influence its aerodynamic behaviour. The result also depends on the casings, the turbine, the boost pressure and the engine management system. A larger impeller does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time.
The 360° thrust bearing helps to distribute the axial forces exerted on the rotating assembly. TBalancing at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench aims to limit vibrations and mechanical stresses on the rotor. However, it does not compensate for poor installation or inadequate lubrication.
Adjustments to the engine mapping and boost pressure management are required for to make the most of the turbo’s performance. The fuel injection, exhaust, cooling, intake and transmission must be checked in line with the level of tuning. The wastegate must be adjusted when remapping the ECU. No power gain is automatic without a coherent configuration.
⚠️ WARNING — IMPORTANT BEFORE INSTALLATION
Identify and rectify the cause of the previous fault. Check the lubrication circuit, as well as the oil supply and return d. Check that the pipes are clean, the inlet and that there are no foreign objects. Prime the system in accordance with the applicable recommendations and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. A lubrication fault that is not rectified may lead to further turbocharger failure.
Check the turbo’s part number d, the original, OEM and manufacturer part numbers, as well as the make, model, body style, engine type, power output,Year and engine code.. An identical engine type is not always sufficient to confirm compatibility.
⚠️ Check your turbo’s part numbers
Before ordering, compare the part number marked on your original turbo d with the part numbers listed in this specification sheet. An identical engine specification does not always guarantee compatibility. If in doubt, please contact us before placing your order.

View turbo Cartridge →Our catalogue covers a wide range of d applications fitted with d a turbocharged engine.
A single engine type may have been fitted with several different turbochargers depending on theYear, power output, engine version or technical evolution.. The application alone is therefore not always sufficient for to accurately identify the correct turbo.
Before ordering, note down the part numbers shown on the identification plate d of your old turbocharger. This may be d an OEM part number or d a part number from the turbo manufacturer.
Compare these part numbers with those listed on our product pages.. If in doubt, our team can help you verify the part number you are looking for before you place your order.
A loss of power, an unusual whistling noise, oil consumption d, abnormal smoke or poor engine performance may be linked to a turbocharger fault.
However, a fault that appears to be turbo-related may also stem d from a lubrication issue, d from contaminated oil, d from a foreign object, from the intake or exhaust systems, or d from another engine peripheral component.
It is therefore important to investigate the cause of the fault before fitting a new turbo or a new Cartridge.
Since 2012, ALFI TURBO has been assisting private individuals and professionals in identifying and replacing turbochargers.
A turbocharger failure may be the result d of another engine problem. Before fitting d a new turbo or Cartridge, identify and rectify the cause of the original fault to d avoid d damaging the new part.
