This hybrid turbo, designed for the following engines Ford, Transit 2., 5 D and 2., 5 TD, combines a plug & play system with internal components adapted for the. tuning programme. Depending on the tuning stage selected, the modifications involve the high-flow MFS compressor wheel, the casings or the turbine wheel.
The documented modifications cover several Ford Transit 4 and Transit 5 models from 1994 onwards, in versions ranging from 76 to 115 hp.
Available tuning packages — Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3
Stage 1
Compressor wheel: MFS high-flow
Thrustbearing: 360°
Balancing: high-speed at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench
This configuration utilises an MFS compressor wheel with increased flow whilst maintaining a set-up designed for for and Installation without modification of the vehicle.
Stage 2
Compressor wheel: MFS high-flow oversized
d intake housing: re-profiled for accommodate the new wheel
Thrustbearing: 360°
Balancing: high-speed at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench
The Stage 2 combines a oversized compressor wheel with a reprofiled d intake housing. This modification is designed to increase air flow capacity, provided d that the engine is suitably prepared.
Stage 3
Compressor impeller: MFS high-flow oversized
d intake housing: re-profiled for to accommodate the new impeller
Thrustbearing: 360°
Turbine impeller: high-flow oversized
Turbine housing: re-profiled for ly to accommodate the new impeller
Balancing: high-speed at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench
This version adds a turbine impeller oversized and a reprofiled turbine housing. The modification may affect flow rate and response time; its performance depends on the overall engine configuration.
What is a hybrid turbo?
A hybrid turbo utilises an architecture adapted for to accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the stage of the upgrade, the modifications may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the housings, the thrust bearing 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 wheel: the geometry of the components and their compatibility with the housings are crucial.
MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance?
MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. A standard MFS wheel may retain a geometry equivalent to the original: its manufacturing process or polished finish does not, on its own, guarantee a higher air flow rate.
A high- Performance MFS impeller can feature a diameter, profile or blade geometry tailored to the tuning objective. The impeller described in this specification is made from forged aluminium and is presented as being lighter, larger and taller than the original d, with a claimed compression capacity up to 15 per cent higher.
A standard MFS impeller can be just as effective 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.
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 blade arrangement influence its aerodynamic behaviour. Suitable geometry can move more d air under certain conditions, but the result also depends on the casings, the turbine, the boost pressure and the mapping. A larger impeller therefore does not automatically guarantee a better result and may alter the response time.
Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo
The 360° stop, documented across the three stages, helps to distribute axial forces. The rotor is balanced at high speed, up to 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench, in order to limit vibrations and mechanical stresses. This balancing does not protect against a lack of lubrication or incorrect installation.
Engine remapping and preparation
Operating d a hybrid turbo requires appropriate engine management. The mapping, injection, boost pressure, exhaust and cooling systems must be checked in accordance with the level of tuning. The wastegate must be adjusted when remapping the ECU. The clutch, the gearbox and other components may also need to be checked depending on the vehicle.

Fitting advice
⚠️ 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. Ensure 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.
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,Year and engine code where available.
⚠️ 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 full part number taken from your turbocharger.
