What is a hybrid turbo?

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

The aim is dto adapt the compression capacity and air flow rate dto a specific engine tuning. A hybrid turbo is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel: the geometry of the wheels, the machining of the housings and the overall coherence of the unit are decisive.

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 and does not, on its own, guarantee an increase in air flow rate d.

A standard MFS impeller may retain a geometry equivalent to that of the original d. An MFS impeller intended for a Performance conversion may adopt a different geometry depending on the desired outcome. For this product, the available data indicates a forged aluminium wheel that is lighter, larger and taller than the original d, with a claimed 15 per cent higher load capacity.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as efficient 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 can contribute to power output when the engine management system and peripheral equipment are suitably configured.

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 the arrangement of its blades influence its aerodynamic behaviour and the amount dof air it can move under certain conditions.

The result also depends on the compressor housing, the impeller and the turbine housing, the boost pressure and the engine calibration. A larger impeller does not automatically guarantee a better result and may alter the response time or the optimal operating range.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

All three stages are fitted dwith a 360° bearing stop, designed for to distribute axial forces over a wide surface area. It accommodates the stresses associated with turbocharger operation without protecting it dfrom installation or lubrication faults.

Each engine preparation includes dhigh-speed balancing at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench. This process aims to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses on the rotor, but does not replace checks on the doil and dintake systems.

Engine remapping and tuning

The engine mapping and wastegate settings must be adjusted for to make the most of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. Depending on the tuning, the dinjection, dexhaust, cooling and boost pressure management systems must also be checked or adjusted.

The clutch, gearbox and other vehicle components may also require inspection depending on usage. Fitting da hybrid turbo does not automatically guarantee a power increase without appropriate tuning.

Installation tips

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number marked on the original turbo dand compare it with the OEM and manufacturer part numbers in this data sheet.. Also check the make, model, generation, body style, engine type, power output at hp, the mountingYear and the engine code where available.

The same engine may be fitted with several different turbochargers depending on the vehicle version. The part number therefore remains the primary verification criterion.

If in doubt, contact our team with the part number noted on your turbo.
