Available modifications — Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3

What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo is based on a turbocharger architecture designed for accommodate internal modifications. Depending on the level of modification, these may involve the compressor wheel, the housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing or the balancing.

The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and air flow d to the requirements d of an engine tuning programme. A hybrid turbo is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel, but by the consistency of its geometry and mechanical adaptations.

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 Performance MFS impeller may adopt a geometry adapted to the modification, notably through its profile, the height or width of its blades and its diameter, provided these modifications are documented.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as efficient 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. The impeller documented here is made from forged aluminium and is described as lighter, larger and taller than the d'original, with 15 per cent additional compression.

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 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 360° thrust bearing, documented at for for each stage, helps to distribute the axial forces exerted on the rotating assembly. It must operate with adequate lubrication and does not protect the turbocharger against incorrect installation.

High-speed balancing at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench is designed to limit vibrations and mechanical stresses on the rotor. However, it does not compensate for a lack of lubrication or the presence d of a foreign object in the d intake system.

Engine remapping and preparation

Adjustments to the engine management system may be necessary for to make the most of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. The mapping, boost pressure and wastegate settings must be checked during remapping.

Depending on the level of tuning, the fuel injection, exhaust system, air cooling d'admission, clutch or gearbox may also require checking or adjustment. The hybrid turbo alone does not guarantee a power increase.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number marked on the original turbo d, then compare it with the OEM and manufacturer part numbers in this sheet.. Also check the make, model, engine type 1.9 DDiS, power output of 129 hp, theYear installation details and, where available, the engine code.

An identical engine specification does not always guarantee compatibility, as there may be several different configurations depending on the vehicle version.

If you are unsure about the fitment, please contact us with the part number clearly visible on your original turbocharger d.
