What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo is based on a specially adapted turbocharger design for to receive internal components that differ from the configuration d’origin’. Depending on the service, the modifications may involve the compressor wheel, the casings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing system and balancing.

The aim is d’adjust the compression capacity and flow rate’ dair. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the geometry of its components and the overall coherence of the unit determine its performance.

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 dair. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d’origin’.

An MFS wheel Performance may be designed with a geometry suited to the application, in particular through its profile, blades or dimensions, where such modifications are envisaged. 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 dair.

A flow rate d’Increased air intake can enable the engine to produce more power when combined with appropriate engine tuning, although it does not, on its own, guarantee a power increase’.

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

The compressor wheel draws in and then compresses the air fed to the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and the arrangement of its blades influence the aerodynamic behaviour of the compressor.

The right geometry can move more d’air 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 affect response time as well as the range doptimal use.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The 360° bearing stop, which is featured in all three courses on offer, distributes axial forces over a wide surface area. It helps to adapt the bearing system to operational stresses, without making the turbocharger insensitive to faults in assembly or lubrication.

Every work placement offers d’high-speed balancing at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench’. The aim of this operation is to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses on the rotor.

Engine remapping and tuning

Appropriate engine management is required for make the most of the hybrid turbo’s features. Depending on the level of preparation, it is advisable to check whether or d’adjust the mapping, boost pressure, fuel injection, exhaust and air cooling’ d’intake and transmission’. The wastegate must be adjusted when the ECU is remapped. The full configuration must be set up by a qualified professional.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Make a note of the reference number marked on the turbocharger dthe original, then compare it with the OEM and manufacturer’s part numbers listed on this sheet. Also check the make, model, generation and engine type 1.9 TDI, the power of 100 hp, theYear the mounting code and the engine code, where available.

An identical engine does not necessarily guarantee compatibility: several configurations may coexist, depending on the vehicle version.

If you are unsure about your installation, please contact us with the reference number clearly visible on your turbo d’origin’.
