This hybrid turbo is designed for the following engines: 2., 8 TD and 3., 1 TD, as listed at for for the Isuzu Trooper, as well as the Opel Frontera and Monterey.. A hybrid conversion adapts the turbocharger’s architecture to meet a specific operating objective, without it being possible to deduce the final power output from the product designation alone.
The dimensions, turbine geometry, internal modifications and exact tuning level are not specified in the available data. The part number of the original turbo dmust therefore be checked before placing any order.
Hybrid tuning
Tuning level not specified
No tuning stages, wheel dimensions or detailed mechanical modifications are documented for for this reference. No specific tuning level can therefore be presented as available based on the information provided.
What is a hybrid turbo?
A hybrid turbo is based on a turbocharger architecture designed for accommodate internal modifications. Depending on the tuning, these may involve the compressor wheel, the blade geometry, the wheel diameter, the machining of the housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing system or the balancing.
The aim may be dto adjust the compression capacity and dthe air flow rate. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel: the characteristics of the rotating assembly and its compatibility with the housings are also decisive.
MFS compressor wheel: standard or ‘ Performance ’?
MFS stands for ‘Milled From Solid’, i.e. a wheel machined from a solid block. This designation describes a manufacturing process and does not, in itself, imply that the air flow rate d’air is higher. The presence d’of an MFS wheel on this product is not specified in the available data.
A standard MFS impeller may retain a geometry equivalent to that d’of the original. An MFS impeller Performance may, depending on its design, utilise a blade profile, diameter or configuration suited to the intended application.
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 dair. A higher airflow can contribute to power output with appropriate engine tuning, though this is not guaranteed.
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 its blades influence the aerodynamic behaviour of the compressor. A suitable geometry can move more dair under certain operating conditions.
The result also depends on the compressor housing, the impeller and the turbine housing, the boost pressure and the engine set-up. A larger impeller is not necessarily more suitable: it can also alter the response time and the range dof optimal operation.
Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo
When included in a tuning package, a 360° thrust bearing helps to distribute the axial forces borne by the rotating assembly. Its inclusion is not documented for for this product.
Rotor balancing is essential for to limit vibrations and mechanical stresses at high revs. As no specific method or speed dfor precise balancing is indicated here, no values can be provided. Proper balancing is never a substitute for correct installation or appropriate lubrication.
Engine remapping and tuning
Operating da hybrid turbo may require adjustments to the engine mapping and boost pressure management. Depending on the vehicle and the desired outcome, the fuel supply, intake air cooling d, the exhaust system, the clutch or the transmission must also be checked by a qualified professional. Fitting da hybrid turbo does not automatically result in a power gain without appropriate preparation.

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 das well as the cleanliness of all pipes.
Check the inlet for any foreign objects. Carry out the priming procedure in accordance with the applicable guidelines and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.
A lubrication fault that is not rectified may lead to further damage to the turbocharger.
How do you identify the correct turbo?
Check the part number marked on the original turbo d, the OEM and manufacturer part numbers, the make, model, engine type, power output, mountingYear and engine code.. An identical engine type may have several different mounting configurations depending on the vehicle version.
⚠️ 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 full part number of your original turbo dand your vehicle details.
