What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo utilises a turbocharger architecture adapted for to accommodate internal modifications. Depending on the stage of modification, these may involve the compressor wheel, its dimensions, the housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing or the balancing.

The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and air flow d to the requirements d of an engine upgrade. A hybrid turbo is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel: the geometry, the machining of the housings and the overall coherence of the unit are crucial.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or ‘ Performance ’?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This technology describes the manufacturing process, but does not in itself guarantee an increase in air flow d.

A standard MFS impeller may retain a geometry equivalent to that of the original d'original. A ‘ Performance ’ MFS impeller may feature a profile, dimensions or blade configuration tailored to the tuning objective. For this product, the wheel is described as a forged aluminium wheel, which is lighter, larger and taller than the original d, with a claimed 15 per cent increase in compression.

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 rate can contribute to power output with appropriate engine tuning, though it does not in itself guarantee a specific result.

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 directly influence the aerodynamic behaviour of the compressor.

A suitably designed geometry can move more air d under certain conditions. The result also depends on the casings, the turbine wheel, the boost pressure and the engine mapping. 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 360° bearing stop, featured on all three stages, distributes axial forces across the entire surface. It contributes to the mechanical integrity of the assembly without making the turbocharger insensitive to poor lubrication or incorrect fitting.

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

Engine remapping and tuning

Appropriate engine management is necessary for to make full use of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. The wastegate must be adjusted during the ECU remapping.

Depending on the level of tuning, it is also advisable to check or d'adjust the mapping, fuel injection, exhaust system, cooling, boost pressure and, if necessary, the transmission. Fitting d'a hybrid turbo does not automatically guarantee a power gain without a coherent configuration.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number engraved or marked on the original turbo d, then compare it with the OEM and manufacturer part numbers in this data sheet.. Also check the make, model, generation, version, engine type, power output at hp, theYear and the engine code where available.

A single engine type may be fitted with several different turbocharger set-ups. Checking the part numbers therefore remains the most reliable way d to identify the correct configuration.

If in doubt, please contact us with the part number clearly visible on your original turbocharger d.
