What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo is based on a turbocharger architecture adapted for to accommodate internal components that differ from the d original configuration. Depending on the stage, the modification may involve the compressor wheel, the turbine wheel, the housing profile, the thrust bearing and the rotor balancing.

The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and the d air flow. 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 unit are decisive.

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 rate d. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that of the d original.

An MFS impeller Performance is characterised by a geometry tailored to the intended application. Depending on its design, it may have a profile, a different height, width or diameter. The wheel documented here is made from forged aluminium and has a geometry that is lighter, larger and taller than that of the d original. The data provided indicates an additional load-bearing capacity of 15 per cent.

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 flow rate can help to generate more power when the engine is properly tuned, though this alone does not guarantee the final result.

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 directly influence its aerodynamic behaviour. A suitable geometry can move more d air under certain operating conditions.

The result also depends on the housings, the turbine wheel, the boost pressure and the engine tuning. A larger turbine wheel therefore does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the turbo’s response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The 360° thrust bearing, documented across all three stages, helps to distribute the axial forces exerted on the rotating assembly. It does not, however, replace d'proper lubrication or d'correct installation.

Each preparation undergo d high-speed balancing at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench. This operation aims to limit vibrations and mechanical stresses on the rotor, without compensating for inadequate lubrication, contamination or incorrect installation.

Engine remapping and tuning

The engine mapping must be adapted for to make full use of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. The wastegate must be adjusted during the ECU reprogramming.

Depending on the level of tuning, it is also advisable to check or d'adjust' the fuel injection, exhaust system, cooling system, boost pressure management and other components under stress, particularly the clutch or gearbox. The hybrid turbo does not automatically guarantee a power gain without appropriate tuning.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number of the original turbo d as well as the OEM and manufacturer part numbers. Also take into account the make, model, generation, body style, engine type, power output hp, years of manufacture and engine code. An identical engine type does not always guarantee compatibility.

If in doubt, please contact us with the part number clearly visible on your original turbocharger d.
