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 housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing system 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: its geometry, the machining carried out and the overall coherence of the unit are decisive factors.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This is d a manufacturing process which, on its own, does not guarantee an increase in air flow d.

A standard MFS impeller may retain a geometry equivalent to that d'of the original. An MFS impeller Performance may adopt a geometry suited to the tuning objective, for example a different profile or dimensions where such modifications are intended.

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 rate can contribute to power output with appropriate engine tuning, though it does not, on its own, guarantee results.

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 tuning. A larger wheel 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 insensitive 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 associated with rotation.

Engine remapping and preparation

d operation of a hybrid turbo requires consistent adaptation of the engine management system. The mapping, boost pressure, fuel injection, exhaust and cooling must be monitored or adjusted according to the level of tuning. The wastegate must be adjusted whilst remapping the ECU. The clutch, transmission and other vehicle components must also be checked in accordance with the configuration.

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 datasheet.. Also take into account the make, model, generation, body style, engine type, power output ( hp), mountingYear and engine code where available. An identical engine type does not always guarantee compatibility.
