What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo utilises a turbocharger architecture adapted for to accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the upgrade package, the modifications may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the housings, the thrust bearing and 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 impeller: the geometry, the combination of components and the quality of the tuning 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 method alone does not guarantee an increase in airflow d. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d of the original.

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. On this product, the wheels are described as being made of aluminium, lighter, larger and taller than the original ones. Using them 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 intake air. Its diameter, profile, height, width and blade arrangement 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 engine tuning. A larger impeller therefore does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The documented 360° thrust bearing distributes axial forces across the entire surface. It helps the bearing adapt to operating stresses, without making the turbo immune to poor lubrication or incorrect fitting.

The rotor is balanced at high speed, up to 150,000 rpm, on a Cimat VSR test bench. This process aims to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses during rotation.

Engine remapping and preparation

The engine management system must be adapted for to make the most of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. The mapping, boost pressure, fuel injection, cooling, exhaust and, depending on the configuration, the transmission must be checked or adjusted. The wastegate must be adjusted when the ECU is remapped. The turbo alone does not guarantee any power gain.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number marked on the original turbo d, then compare the OEM and manufacturer part numbers.. Also check the make, model, generation, engine type 2.3 TD, the power output 98 hp, theYear and, where available, the engine code. An identical engine specification does not always guarantee compatibility.

If in doubt, please contact us with the part number from your original turbo d.
