This hybrid turbocharger is designed for the following engines Toyota 3.0 D4-D 1KD-FTV with 173 and 190 hp. Its modifications are based on a high-flow MFS compressor wheel, a 360° bearing stop and high-speed balancing.
Documented applications include the Toyota, Land Cruiser and Prado models of the J12 and J15 generations. Two levels of tuning are available, each with distinct mechanical characteristics.
Available tuning packages — Stage 1 and Stage 2
Stage 1
Compressor wheel: MFS high-flow
Dimensions: 38.99 / 58.01 mm
Blade configuration: 6+6
Bearing stop: 360°
Balancing: up to 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench
This setup utilises a high-flow MFS impeller, the geometry of which is designed to match the air flow capacit d of the compressor. Its final performance depends on the engine management system and all associated components.
Stage 2
Compressor impeller: high-flow MFS oversized
Dimensions: 42.87 / 62.00 mm
Blade configuration: 11+0
d ’ intake housing: reprofiled for accommodate the impeller oversized
Bearing thrust: 360°
Balancing: up to 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench
The Stage 2 combines a larger impeller with a reprofiled intake d housing. This configuration can increase the available air flow d under certain conditions, but may also alter the turbocharger’s response and requires appropriate engine tuning.
What is a hybrid turbo?
A hybrid turbo retains a turbocharger architecture designed for to accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the modification, changes may involve the compressor wheel, its geometry, its dimensions, the housings, the thrust bearing or the balancing.
The aim is d to adapt the compression capacity and air flow rate d. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: its mechanical characteristics and how well they match the engine 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 airflow d. A standard MFS wheel may 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. Depending on the modification, a Performance impeller can be fitted with a specific diameter, profile or blade configuration. A higher airflow rate can support an increase in power with appropriate engine tuning, though this alone does not guarantee a specific result.
Why does the blade geometry influence the flow rate d'air?
The compressor impeller 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 within certain operating ranges, but the result also depends on the casings, the turbine, the boost pressure and the mapping. A larger impeller therefore does not automatically guarantee a better result and may alter the response time.
Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo
The 360° thrust bearing documented during both test phases helps to distribute axial forces. The rotor is balanced at high speeds, up to 150,000 rpm, on a Cimat VSR test bench to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. However, this balancing does not compensate for incorrect installation or inadequate lubrication.
Engine remapping and preparation
Operating d a hybrid turbo requires appropriate engine management. The mapping, boost pressure, fuel injection, exhaust, cooling and, depending on the vehicle, the transmission must be checked or adjusted. The wastegate must be adjusted during installation and when remapping the ECU. The turbo alone does not guarantee a power gain.

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 part number of the original turbo d and compare it with the OEM part numbers listed. Also check the model, generation, body style, engine type, power output, years of manufacture and engine code. An identical engine 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 specification sheet. An identical engine specification does not always guarantee compatibility.
If in doubt, please contact us with the part number found on your turbocharger.
