What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo is based on a turbocharger design that has been adapted to accommodate internal modifications. Depending on the course, these may relate to the compressor wheel, its dimensions, the configuration of its blades, or the casing d'the intake, the stop or the balancing of the rotor'.

The aim is d'adjust the compression capacity and flow rate' d'air from the turbocharger'. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: its geometry, mechanical integration and how well it works with the other components of 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 designation describes the manufacturing process, but it is not in itself sufficient to demonstrate an increase in flow rate d'air'.

A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d'origin'. An MFS wheel Performance may, in accordance with the documented design, use a blade diameter, profile or configuration suited to the intended purpose.

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'. A higher flow rate can help to increase power output when the engine management system and peripheral equipment are correctly configured.

Why does the geometry of the blades affect the flow rate? d'air?' ?

The compressor wheel draws in and then compresses the air fed to the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and the arrangement of the blades directly influence its aerodynamic behaviour. The right geometry can move more d'air under certain operating conditions'.

The result also depends on the compressor housing, the turbine section, the boost pressure and the engine tuning. A larger wheel is not necessarily the best option in all situations and may affect the turbo’s response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The three documented work placements include d'a 360° bearing stop, designed to distribute the axial forces borne by the rotating assembly more evenly'. This approach does not mean that d'proper lubrication, nor d'a compliant assembly'.

Every preparation benefits from d'high-speed balancing at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench'. Balancing helps to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses on the rotor, without compensating for any defect d'installation, contamination or insufficient oil supply'.

Engine remapping and tuning

The engine management system needs to be adjusted for make the most of the hybrid turbo’s features. Mapping, boost pressure, fuel injection, air cooling d'The intake, exhaust, clutch and gearbox must be checked in accordance with the level of preparation'.

The wastegate must be adjusted during installation and when reprogramming the ECU. Simply replacing the turbocharger does not automatically result in a power increase: the outcome depends on the overall consistency and tuning of the engine.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Make a note of the part number shown on the plate or casing of your turbocharger d'original', then compare it with the OEM and manufacturer's specifications in this data sheet. Please also check the make, model, generation, engine type, power output, production period and engine code.

The same engine can be fitted with several different turbo set-ups. The part number d'Origin' therefore remains the main criterion for verification.

If you are in any doubt, please contact us with the full part number of your turbocharger d'Vehicle origin and details'.
