What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo utilises a turbocharger architecture adapted for to accommodate certain internal modifications. Depending on the specification, these may relate to the compressor wheel, the blade geometry, the housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing system or the balancing. Their purpose may be dto adjust the compression capacity and the air flow rate d. A hybrid turbo is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel.

MFS compressor wheel: standard or ‘ Performance ’?

MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, meaning a wheel machined from a solid block. This manufacturing process does not, on its own, guarantee an increase in air flow d. A standard MFS wheel may retain a geometry equivalent to that dof the original, whilst an MFS wheel Performance may adopt a geometry tailored to the tuning objective. 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. The presence d’of an MFS impeller Performance is not documented for in this fact sheet.

Why does the geometry of the blades influence the dair flow?

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

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

A 360° thrust bearing can help to distribute axial forces more evenly when included in the modification, but its use is not documented here. Rotor balancing is essential for to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. However, it does not protect the turbocharger against a lack of lubrication, contamination or incorrect installation.

Engine remapping and preparation

Operating da hybrid turbo may require adjustments to the engine mapping and boost pressure management. Depending on the vehicle, the fuel supply, intake air cooling d, the exhaust system, the clutch or the transmission may also require checking. Fitting da hybrid turbo does not automatically guarantee a power increase without appropriate tuning.

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, body style, power output, years of manufacture and engine code.. An identical engine specification does not always guarantee compatibility.

If in doubt, contact our team with the part number from your turbo.
