What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo utilises a turbocharger architecture adapted for accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the upgrade stage, the modifications may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the housings, the thrust bearing and the balancing.

The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and 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 also decisive factors.

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.

Performance A standard MFS impeller may retain a geometry equivalent to the original. An ‘ ’ MFS impeller may feature a geometry adapted to the modification, with a different profile or dimensions, provided these modifications are documented. For this product, the wheel is described as being made of forged aluminium, lighter, wider and taller than the original d, with a claimed 15 per cent increase in load capacity.

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. A higher airflow can contribute to the development of more power with suitable engine tuning, without constituting a guarantee of a gain.

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

The compressor wheel 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 d of air displaced under certain conditions.

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 as well as the range d of optimal operation.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The documented 360° thrust bearing distributes axial forces over a wide surface area. It helps the bearing adapt to operating stresses, without making the turbocharger immune to poor lubrication or incorrect installation.

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 in the rotating assembly.

Engine remapping and preparation

The engine mapping must be adapted for fully utilise the characteristics of the hybrid turbo. The wastegate must be adjusted whilst remapping the ECU.

Depending on the level of tuning, it is also advisable to check or d'adjust the fuel injection, boost pressure, exhaust system, cooling system, intake system and, if necessary, the transmission. Fitting d'a hybrid turbo does not automatically guarantee a power increase.

Fitting advice

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, body style, engine type, power output at hp, theYear and the engine code where available.

An identical engine specification does not always guarantee compatibility, as several different set-ups may exist.

If in doubt, please contact us with the full part number of your original turbo d and your vehicle details.
