Available tuning options — Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3

What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo is based on an architecture designed for to accommodate internal components that differ from the original configuration d. Depending on the upgrade stage, the modification may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the housings, the thrust bearing and balancing.

The aim is d to adjust the compression capacity and the air flow rate d. A hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its wheel: the geometry of the components and how they are combined determine its behaviour.

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 impeller may retain a geometry equivalent to that of the ori d. An MFS Performance impeller may adopt a geometry adapted to the modification, particularly in terms of its profile, dimensions or the shape of its blades, where such modifications are intended.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as glossy 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 an increase in power with appropriate engine tuning, though this alone does not 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 sent to the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and blade arrangement all influence its aerodynamic behaviour. The result also depends on the casings, the turbine wheel, the boost pressure and the engine management system. A larger wheel therefore does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The documented 360° bearing stop helps to distribute axial forces over a wider surface area. However, it does not replace d the need for proper lubrication or d correct installation.

The rotor is balanced at high speed, at 150,000 revolutions per minute on a Cimat VSR test bench, to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. This balancing does not protect the turbocharger against insufficient lubrication, contamination or incorrect installation.

Engine remapping and preparation

The engine map must be adapted for to make the most of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. Fuel injection, exhaust, cooling, pressure management and the transmission must be adjusted according to the level of tuning. The wastegate must be adjusted during the ECU remapping.

Turbo specifications

Compatible vehicles and applications

No specific vehicle applications are documented. Compatibility must be confirmed using the original turbo part numbers d and the vehicle’s specifications.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number of the original turbo d, the OEM and manufacturer part numbers, as well as the make, model, generation, body style, engine type, power output, years of manufacture and engine code. An identical engine type does not always guarantee compatibility.
