This hybrid turbocharger is designed for the 1.9 TDI engine producing 105 hp, fitted to the Volkswagen Transporter T5 from 2003 onwards. A hybrid setup is based on a turbocharger design adapted to meet specific targets for air dflow and operation.
The available data does not specify whether this is the Stage 1, Stage 2 or Stage 2+ variant, nor does it provide any dimensions or details of internal modifications specific to this conversion.
Understanding the hybrid set-up
What is a hybrid turbo?
A hybrid turbo retains an architecture suited to the intended installation whilst, depending on the modification, being capable of accommodating modifications to the compressor wheel, turbine, casings, blade geometry or thrust bearing system. The aim may be dto adapt the compression capacity and dair flow. Not all of these modifications are systematically present on every model.
MFS compressor impeller: 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 rate d’air. A standard MFS wheel may retain a geometry close to the original, whilst an MFS Performance wheel may adopt a geometry tailored to the tuning objective. The presence dof an MFS wheel on this product is not specified in the available data.
A standard MFS impeller can be just as glossy 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.
Geometry, airflow dand balancing
The impeller diameter, the profile, height, width and arrangement of the blades all influence the compressor’s aerodynamic behaviour. The result also depends on the casings, the turbine, the boost pressure and the engine set-up. A larger impeller therefore does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time.
A 360° stop, where fitted, helps to distribute axial forces. Rotor balancing helps to limit vibrations and mechanical stresses. The presence dof a 360° stop and the dbalancing data are not documented for for this product.
Engine remapping and tuning
Operating da hybrid turbocharger may require adjustments to the mapping, boost pressure, fuel delivery, intake air cooling d, the exhaust or the transmission. A power increase is not guaranteed without appropriate engine configuration.

Fitting instructions
⚠️ WARNING — IMPORTANT BEFORE INSTALLATION
Identify and rectify the cause of the previous fault. Check the lubrication circuit, as well as the oil supply and return d. Check that the pipes are clean, the inlet and that there are no 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 further turbocharger failure.
How do you identify the correct turbo?
Check the turbo’s part number dthe original part number, OEM and manufacturer part numbers, as well as the model, generation, engine type, power output, production period and engine code. An identical engine type does not always guarantee compatibility.
⚠️ Check your turbo’s part numbers
Before ordering, compare the part number 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 before placing your order.
