What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo is based on a turbocharger architecture adapted for to accommodate 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 air flow rate d. A hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the geometry, the machining of the housings and the overall coherence of the unit are crucial.

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

An MFS impeller Performance utilises a geometry tailored to the intended application. A standard MFS impeller can be just as polished 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 airflow rate can help generate more power with appropriate engine tuning, though it does not in itself guarantee results.

Why does the geometry of the blades influence the air flow rate d?

The compressor wheel draws in and then compresses the air sent to the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and blade arrangement influence its aerodynamic behaviour. A suitable geometry can move more d air under certain conditions, but the result also depends on the casings, the turbine, the boost pressure and the engine management system. A larger impeller therefore does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The 360° stop, documented across the three stages, helps to distribute axial forces. The rotor is balanced at high speed, at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench, in order to limit vibrations and mechanical stresses. However, this balancing does not compensate for a lack of lubrication or incorrect installation.

Engine remapping and preparation

The engine management system must be adapted for to make full use of the hybrid turbo’s characteristics. The mapping, boost pressure, fuel injection, exhaust and cooling systems must be checked or adjusted according to the modification. The wastegate must be adjusted when remapping the ECU. The clutch, transmission and other vehicle components must also be checked according to the configuration.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number engraved or marked on the original d turbo, then compare it with the manufacturer’s and OEM part numbers in this data sheet. Also check the make, model, body style, engine type, power output ( hp), the mountingYear and the engine code where available. An identical engine type is not always sufficient to confirm compatibility.

If in doubt, please contact us with the full part number of your original turbo d.
