What is a hybrid turbocharger?

A hybrid turbo is based on a turbocharger architecture adapted for accommodate internal components that differ from the original configuration d. Depending on the stage, modifications may involve the compressor wheel, the intake housing d, the turbine wheel, the turbine housing, the thrust bearing system and balancing.

The aim is d'to adapt the compression capacity and the air flow rate d'. A hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the geometry of the components, their combination and the quality of the machining are decisive factors.

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 airflow d. A standard MFS wheel may retain a geometry equivalent to that d of the original.

An MFS wheel Performance can be designed with a geometry suited to the engine build. On this product, the wheel shown is made of forged aluminium; it is lighter, larger and taller than the original wheel d. The specification sheet indicates an additional compression capacity of 15 per cent, the utilisation of which depends on the engine’s configuration and tuning.

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.

Why does the geometry of the blades influence the d air flow?

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 the volume d of air it can move under certain conditions.

The result also depends on the casings, the turbine wheel, the boost pressure and the engine tuning. A larger wheel does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time as well as the range d'of optimal operation.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The documented 360° bearing thrust ring helps to distribute the axial forces exerted on the rotating assembly. It must operate with correct lubrication and does not protect the turbocharger against incorrect installation or insufficient oil supply.

Each stage includes high-speed balancing at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench. This operation aims to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses on the rotor.

Engine remapping and preparation

Appropriate engine management is required for to make the most of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. The mapping, injection, exhaust, cooling and boost pressure management must be checked or adjusted according to the level of tuning. The wastegate must be adjusted when reprogramming the ECU. The transmission and other vehicle components must also be checked in line with the chosen configuration.

Installation advice

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number engraved or marked on each original turbo d, then compare it with the OEM and manufacturer part numbers in this fact sheet.. Also check the make, model, generation, engine type, power output,Year, and the engine code where available. An identical engine specification does not always guarantee compatibility.

If you are unsure whether it is the left-hand or right-hand side, please contact us with the part numbers taken from the original turbos d.
