What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo is based on a turbocharger architecture adapted for to accommodate internal components that differ from the original configuration d. Depending on the tuning stage, the modifications may involve the compressor wheel, the housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing or the rotor balancing.

The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and the air flow rate d. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the geometry of the components and how they are combined are decisive.

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 the d original.

An MFS wheel Performance can be designed with a geometry suited to the intended application, featuring a specific profile or dimensions where such modifications are required. A standard MFS wheel can be just as shiny as an MFS wheel Performance. It is not its appearance that determines its performance, but its geometry and its ability to move more d air. Achieving d a higher flow rate requires 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 intended for the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and the arrangement of its blades influence its aerodynamic behaviour. A 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 turbocharger

The documented 360° stop 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 minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. This balancing does not protect against a lack of lubrication, contamination of the system or incorrect installation.

Engine remapping and preparation

The engine management system must be adapted for to make full use of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. The mapping, boost pressure, fuel injection, exhaust and cooling systems must be checked or adjusted according to the level of tuning. The wastegate must be adjusted when remapping the ECU. The clutch, the gearbox and other components must also be checked depending on the vehicle and its intended use.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number marked on the turbo d the original, OEM and manufacturer part numbers, as well as the make, model, generation, engine type, power output, mountingYear and engine code. An identical engine may be fitted with several different turbo configurations.
