This hybrid turbo is designed for a 3.4D engine producing 95 hp. Its internal configuration features a high-flow MFS compressor wheel, a 360° bearing stop and high-speed balancing, with additional modifications depending on the selected upgrade package.
The configuration is designed for a Installation without modification. However, adjustments to the engine management system and peripherals may be necessary for to make the most of the chosen tuning package’s characteristics.
Available tuning packages — Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3
Stage 1
Compressor wheel: MFS high-flow
Bearing: 360° thrust bearing
Balancing: high-speed at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench
This modification primarily affects the compressor section in order d to adjust the compression capacity and air flow rate d, without any documented changes to the casings or the turbine.
Stage 2
Compressor impeller: MFS high-flow oversized
d intake casing: re-profiled for accommodate the new impeller oversized
Bearing: 360° thrust bearing
Balancing: high-speed at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench
The Stage 2 combines a oversized compressor wheel with a reprofiled d intake housing. This configuration can move more d air under suitable conditions, with correctly calibrated engine management.
Stage 3
Supercharger impeller: MFS high-flow oversized
Casing d'Intake: re-profiled for to accommodate the new impeller oversized
Bearing: 360° thrust bearing
Turbine impeller: high-flow oversized
Turbine housing: re-profiled for ly to accommodate the new impeller oversized
Balancing: high-speed balancing at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench
This preparation includes documented modifications to the compressor and turbine sides. The larger sizing may alter the air flow rate d, the turbo’s behaviour and its response time depending on the engine configuration.
What is a hybrid turbo?
A hybrid turbo retains an architecture suited to the intended installation whilst incorporating modified internal components. Depending on the upgrade stage, the modification may involve the compressor wheel, the housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing system and balancing.
The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and the air flow rate d. A hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the geometry, dimensions and combination of the various components 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 its manufacturing process, but does not in itself guarantee an increase in air flow rate d.
A standard MFS impeller may retain a geometry close to the original. A Performance MFS impeller may adopt a geometry adapted to the modification, particularly in terms of its profile, the height or width of its blades and its diameter, provided these modifications are documented.
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. For this product, the impeller is described as being made of forged aluminium, lighter, larger and taller than the d original, with a claimed 15 per cent higher compression capacity.
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 the blades influence its aerodynamic behaviour and the volume d of air displaced.
The result also depends on the casings, the turbine wheel, the boost pressure and the engine tuning. A larger wheel therefore does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the turbocharger’s response time.
Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo
The 360° thrust bearing helps to distribute the axial forces acting on the rotating assembly more evenly. It is used here in conjunction with the three levels of engine tuning documented.
The rotor is balanced at high speed, at 150,000 rpm, on a Cimat VSR test bench. This process aims to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses, without compensating for incorrect installation or inadequate lubrication.
Engine remapping and tuning
Appropriate engine mapping may be required for to make the most of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. The management of boost pressure, injection, exhaust, cooling and, depending on the vehicle, the transmission must be checked or adjusted. The wastegate must be adjusted when remapping the ECU. No power gain is automatic without proper preparation.

Installation advice
⚠️ WARNING — IMPORTANT BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before installation, identify and rectify the cause of the previous fault. Check the lubrication circuit, the oil supply and return d, and ensure all pipes are clean.
Check the inlet for any foreign objects. Prime the system in accordance with the applicable recommendations and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
A lubrication fault that is not rectified may lead to the turbocharger failing again.
How do you identify the correct turbo?
Check the turbo’s part number d – the original part number, OEM and manufacturer part numbers, make, model, generation, body style, engine type, power output, mountingYear and engine code. An identical engine type does not always guarantee compatibility.
⚠️ Check your turbo’s part numbers
Before ordering, compare the part number marked on your original turbo d with the part numbers listed in this specification sheet. An identical engine specification does not always guarantee compatibility.
If in doubt, please contact us with the part number clearly visible on your original turbo d.
