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

The aim is dto adapt the compression capacity and the air flow rate d. However, a hybrid turbo is 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 assembly are crucial.

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 d.

A standard MFS impeller may retain a geometry equivalent to that of the original d. An MFS ‘ Performance ’ impeller may feature a diameter, profile or blade geometry tailored to the tuning objective. On this product, the wheel shown is made of forged aluminium, lighter, larger and taller than the original one d; the data provided indicates an additional 15 per cent compression.

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 power output when the engine tuning is correctly adapted.

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

The compressor impeller draws in and then compresses the air destined for the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and blade arrangement influence its aerodynamic behaviour and the amount dof air it can move.

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 documented 360° thrust bearing helps to distribute the axial forces exerted on the rotating assembly. It does not replace d’proper lubrication or d’correct installation.

Each unit undergo 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, though it cannot compensate for any faults din installation, lubrication or din the oil supply.

Engine remapping and preparation

Appropriate engine management is required for to make the most of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. Map settings, boost pressure and wastegate adjustment must be checked when remapping the ECU.

Depending on the level of tuning, the fuel injection, exhaust, cooling, intake, as well as the clutch or gearbox may require checking or adjustment. Fitting this turbo alone does not guarantee a power increase.

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 3.0 DCI, power output 175 hp, theYear and the 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.
