Available tuning options — Stage 1 and Stage 2

What is a hybrid turbo?

A hybrid turbo retains a turbocharger architecture adapted to d’accommodate modified internal components. Depending on the modification, changes may relate to the compressor wheel, its dimensions, the geometry of the blades, the housings, the thrust bearing or the balancing.

The aim is d’adapt the compression capacity and air flow rate d’. A hybrid turbo is therefore not defined solely by the appearance of its compressor wheel: the consistency between the components and the engine settings remains 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 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, in particular a specific profile, diameter or blade configuration, provided these characteristics are documented.

A standard MFS impeller can be just as shiny 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 can contribute to power output with a suitably adapted engine tuning, though it does not in itself guarantee results.

Why does the geometry of the blades influence the air flow rate d?

The compressor impeller draws in and then compresses the air intended for the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and the arrangement of its blades influence its aerodynamic behaviour. A suitable geometry can move more d’air 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 does not automatically guarantee better performance and may alter the response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbo

The 360° thrust bearing, documented in both stages, helps to distribute the axial forces exerted on the rotating assembly. It does not replace d’proper lubrication or d’correct installation.

Each preparation undergoes d’high-speed balancing at 150,000 rpm on a Cimat VSR test bench. This process aims to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses on the rotor, without compensating for d’installation faults, contamination or insufficient oil supply.

Engine remapping and preparation

To make the most of the characteristics dof a hybrid turbo, appropriate engine management is required. The mapping, boost pressure and wastegate settings must be checked during fitting and reprogramming.

Depending on the level of tuning, the injection system, fuel supply, exhaust system, intake air cooling d, clutch or transmission may also require checking or adjustment. The turbocharger alone does not guarantee a power gain.

How do you identify the correct turbocharger?

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

If in doubt, please contact us, providing the full part number from your turbocharger.
