Available tuning options — Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3

What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo utilises a turbocharger architecture adapted for to accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the stage, the modification may involve the compressor wheel, the housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing and the rotor 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 performance depends on the geometry of the components, how they are combined and the engine tuning.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or Performance?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This manufacturing process alone does not guarantee an increase in air flow d'air. A standard MFS wheel may retain a geometry close to the original, whilst an MFS Performance wheel features a geometry tailored to the tuning objective.

The wheel documented here is made from forged aluminium and features a design that is lighter, larger and taller than the d'original. The specification sheet indicates an additional compression capacity of 15 per cent. This potential requires appropriate engine tuning for to be realised.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as impressive 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.

Why does the geometry of the blades influence the airflow 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.

The result also depends on the compressor housing, the impeller and the turbine housing, the boost pressure and the engine mapping. A larger impeller therefore does not automatically guarantee a better result and may affect response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The 360° thrust bearing distributes axial forces across a surface area suited to the rotor’s operating stresses. It is fitted to all three stages on offer.

Each tuning package undergoes high-speed balancing at 150,000 revolutions per minute on a Cimat VSR test bench. This process helps to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses, though it does not compensate for poor installation or inadequate lubrication.

Engine remapping and tuning

The engine management system must be adapted for to make full use of the characteristics of this hybrid turbo. The mapping, boost pressure and wastegate settings must be checked during remapping.

Depending on the level of modification, it is also advisable to check or d adjust the fuel injection, exhaust system, intake air cooling d and the clutch or gearbox.. Simply fitting d a hybrid turbo does not, on its own, 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, power output at hp, production period and engine code where available.

An identical engine specification does not always guarantee compatibility: there may be several different set-ups for for the same vehicle.

If in doubt, contact the technical support team with the full part number of your original turbo d.
