Available configurations — Stage 1 and Stage 2

What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo utilises a turbocharger design adapted for to accommodate internal modifications. Depending on the tuning, these may involve the compressor wheel, its dimensions and geometry, the housings, the turbine wheel, the thrust bearing or the balancing.

The aim is dadapt the compression capacity and air flow rate d. A hybrid turbo is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel, but by the coherence of its components and the modifications made to them.

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 may retain a geometry equivalent to that dof the original.

An MFS impeller Performance can be given a geometry tailored to the tuning objective: profile, blade height or width, diameter or specific configuration. Only the modifications documented for for each stage should be taken into account.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as efficient as a custom- Performance MFS impeller. It is not its appearance that determines its performance, but its geometry and its ability to move more d’air. A higher airflow rate can contribute to power output when the engine tuning is correctly adapted, though this alone does not guarantee a specific result.

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 compressor’s aerodynamic behaviour and the amount dof air displaced under certain operating conditions.

The result also depends on the casings, the turbine wheel, the boost pressure and the engine set-up. A larger wheel does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time as well as the range d’of optimal operation.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The 360° bearing thrust ring, present on both documented stages, helps to distribute the axial forces to which the rotating assembly is subjected. However, it does not protect the turbo d’from incorrect installation or d’from a lack of lubrication.

The rotor is balanced at high speed, at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench, in order to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. This balancing does not exempt the user from complying with the applicable checks and assembly procedures.

Engine remapping and preparation

Operating da hybrid turbo may require adjustments to the engine mapping and boost pressure management. Depending on the level of preparation, the fuel supply, intake air cooling d, the exhaust system, the transmission and the wastegate setting may also need to be checked or adjusted. Fitting da hybrid turbo does not automatically guarantee a power increase.

How do you identify the correct turbo?

Check the part number marked on the turbo d’original, the OEM and manufacturer part numbers, as well as the make, model, version, engine type, power output,Year and engine code. An identical engine may be fitted with several different turbo set-ups.
