This plug & play hybrid turbo is designed for Volkswagen Transporter models fitted with the 2.5 TDI engine, with a power output of 131 hp. The three tuning options on offer combine an MFS Performance compressor wheel with a 360° bearing retainer and high-speed balancing.
Documented applications cover several versions Transporter, 7H, 7J, T5 and 4-Motion from 2003 onwards. The chosen configuration must correspond to the tuning objectives and the vehicle’s modifications.
Available tuning options — Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 2+
Stage 1
Compressor wheel: MFS Performance high-flow
Dimensions: 38.50 / 52.19 mm
Blade configuration: 11+0
Thrust bearing: 360°
Balancing: 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench
This set-up uses an MFS Performance impeller, the geometry of which is designed to optimise the air flow rate d. Its performance also depends on the engine management system and the overall mechanical configuration.
Stage 2
Compressor impeller: MFS Performance high-flow oversized
Dimensions: 39.61 / 56.02 mm
Blade configuration: 11+0
d intake housing: re-profiled for ly to accommodate the new impeller
Thrust bearing: 360° bearing
Balancing: 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench
The oversized impeller requires the intake housing to be re-profiled d. This combination may increase the air flow capacity d under certain conditions, though it does not, on its own, guarantee the final power output.
Stage 2+
Compressor wheel: MFS Performance high-flow oversized
Dimensions: 44.52 / 60.00 mm
Blade configuration: 11+0
d intake housing: re-profiled for accommodate the new impeller
Thrust bearing: 360° bearing
Balancing: 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench
This version features a larger-diameter impeller and a modified intake d housing. However, a larger impeller does not guarantee better performance in all conditions and may alter the turbocharger’s response time.
What is a hybrid turbo?
A hybrid turbo is based on a turbocharger architecture adapted for to accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the modification, changes may involve the compressor wheel, its dimensions, the geometry of the blades, the housings, the thrust bearing or the 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 balance between the components and the engine tuning remains 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 air flow rate d. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d of the original.
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 Performance geometry may feature a profile, diameter or blade configuration suited to the tuning objective. A higher airflow can contribute to an increase in power when engine tuning is appropriate.
Why does blade geometry influence the air flow rate d?
The compressor impeller draws in and then compresses the air intended for the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and blade arrangement all influence its aerodynamic behaviour. The result also depends on the compressor housing, the turbine section, the boost pressure and the engine management system. An increase in diameter can alter the response time and the range d of optimal operation.
Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger
The 360° bearing stop, documented at each stage, helps to distribute axial forces. The rotor is balanced at high speed, up to 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench, to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. This balancing does not compensate for inadequate lubrication or incorrect installation.
Engine remapping and preparation
Operating d a hybrid turbo may require adjustments to the engine mapping and boost management. Depending on the level of tuning, the fuel injection, exhaust system, intake air cooling d, clutch or gearbox may also need to be checked or adjusted. The wastegate must be adjusted during installation and when remapping the ECU.

Fitting 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 lines d, as well as the cleanliness of the pipes. Check the inlet for any foreign objects, then prime the system in accordance with the applicable recommendations. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and have the wastegate clearance checked against the engine map. A lubrication fault that is not rectified may lead to the turbocharger failing again.
How do you identify the correct turbo?
Check the part number marked on the turbo d, the original OEM and manufacturer part numbers, as well as the make, model, generation, version, 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 marked on your original turbo d with the part numbers listed in this product description. An identical engine specification does not always guarantee compatibility. If in doubt, please contact us with the part number taken from your turbo.
