What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo utilises a suitably adapted turbocharger design for to receive modified internal components. Depending on the modification, changes may relate to the compressor wheel, its geometry, its dimensions, the machining of the casings, the thrust bearing or the balancing.

The aim is d'adjust the compression capacity and flow rate' d'air'. A hybrid turbo is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the dimensions, aerodynamics and overall design 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 does not, on its own, guarantee an increase in throughput. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d'origin'.

A standard MFS wheel can be just as shiny as an MFS wheel Performance. It is not its appearance that determines its performance, but its geometry and its ability to move more d'air'. A wheel Performance may have a blade profile, diameter or arrangement suited to the preparation. A higher flow rate can deliver greater power with the appropriate engine management and components, although this does not in itself guarantee a performance gain.

Why does the geometry of the blades affect the flow rate? d'air?' ?

The compressor wheel draws in and then compresses the air. Its diameter, profile, height, width and the arrangement of the blades all influence its aerodynamic behaviour. The right geometry can move more d'air under certain conditions, but the result also depends on the casings, the turbine, the boost pressure and the engine tuning'. A larger wheel does not automatically guarantee better performance and may affect response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The documented 360° stop distributes axial forces over a wide area. The rotor is balanced at high speed – up to 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench – in order to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. However, this balancing does not compensate for incorrect assembly or a lack of lubrication.

Engine remapping and tuning

It may be necessary to adjust the mapping and pressure management for make the most of the turbo’s features. Fuel injection, exhaust, air cooling d'The intake, clutch or gearbox must be checked in accordance with the level of preparation'. The wastegate must be adjusted during the installation and tuning of the ECU. No profits are guaranteed without the right set-up.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Check the part number engraved on the turbocharger d'origin', then compare the OEM and manufacturer part numbers. Also check the make, model, generation, body style, engine type and power output in hp, the years of manufacture and the engine code. Having the same engine is not always enough to confirm compatibility.
