This hybrid turbo for, available in 1., 9 TDI and 130 and 150 hp, undergoes internal tuning designed to adjust its compression capacity and air flow rate d. Depending on the tuning package chosen, the modifications involve the MFS compressor wheel, the housings, the turbine wheel and the bearing thrust ring.
Documented applications include, amongst others, the Ford Galaxy, Seat Alhambra, Volkswagen Polo and Volkswagen Sharan. The part number of the original turbo d must be checked before placing any order.
This modification primarily affects the compressor impeller in order d to adapt the flow rate d to the air, whilst maintaining a 360° bearing and high-speed balancing.
oversized ’s compressor impeller requires the intake housing to be re-profiled d. This configuration may alter the air displacement capacity d and the compressor’s performance.
This modification combines changes to both the compressor and turbine sides. The larger dimensions may affect flow rate, back pressure and response time; its performance depends on the engine’s overall configuration.
A hybrid turbo retains an architecture compatible with its application whilst incorporating adapted internal components. Depending on the stage, the modification may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the housings, the thrust bearing or balancing.
The aim is to d ‘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 its overall geometry and mechanical modifications.
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.
An MFS impeller Performance can be designed with a geometry tailored to the specific application. A standard MFS impeller can be just as polished 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 airflow can only be fully utilised with appropriate engine tuning.
The impeller’s diameter, the profile, height, width and arrangement of the blades all influence air intake and compression. The result also depends on the casings, the turbine wheel, the boost pressure and the engine management system. A larger wheel does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time.
The 360° thrust bearing distributes axial forces across the peripheral surface. The rotor is balanced at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. However, this balancing does not compensate for inadequate lubrication or incorrect installation.
Adjustments to the mapping and pressure control may be necessary for to make the most of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. The injection, exhaust, intercooling d intake, clutch and transmission must be checked depending on the level of tuning. The wastegate must be adjusted when remapping the ECU.
⚠️ 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 lines 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, generation, engine type, power output,Year and engine code.. An identical engine type does not always guarantee 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 product sheet. An identical engine specification does not always guarantee compatibility.
If in doubt, please contact us with the part number from your original turbo d.

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.
