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 package, modifications may involve the compressor wheel, housings, turbine wheel, thrust bearing and balancing.

The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and the air flow rate d. A hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the geometry of the components and the overall coherence of the assembly are crucial.

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 wheel may retain a geometry equivalent to the original.

An MFS impeller Performance can be designed with a geometry tailored to the specific application: blade profile, height or width, diameter or specific layout. On this product, the high-flow MFS impeller is described as lighter, larger and taller than the d original, with a claimed compression capacity up to 15 per cent higher.

A standard MFS impeller can perform just as well 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 flow rate can contribute to power output with appropriate engine tuning, though it does not, on its own, guarantee the final 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 the arrangement of its blades influence its aerodynamic behaviour and the amount d of air it can move under certain conditions.

The result also depends on the housings, 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 360° thrust bearing, documented at each stage, distributes axial forces over a wide surface area. It helps the bearing adapt to the stresses of the modification, without eliminating the risks associated with poor lubrication or incorrect fitting.

The rotor is balanced at high speed, at 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 control unit must be adapted for to make the most of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. Depending on the tuning package and the vehicle, the fuel injection, exhaust system, cooling system, boost pressure and the transmission may need to be checked or adjusted. The wastegate must be adjusted during reprogramming. The turbo alone does not guarantee a power gain.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

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

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