What is a hybrid turbo ?

A hybrid turbo utilises a suitably adapted turbocharger design for to receive internal components or machined parts that differ from the specification d'origin'. Depending on the maintenance programme, modifications may relate to the compressor wheel, its dimensions, the geometry of the blades, the housing, the thrust bearing system or the balancing.

The aim is d'adjust the compression capacity and flow rate' d'air'. However, a hybrid turbo is not defined solely by the appearance of its impeller: the compatibility between the components, the housings and the engine tuning 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 does not, on its own, guarantee an increase in throughput d'air'. A standard MFS wheel can retain a geometry equivalent to that d'origin'.

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 wheel Performance may have a specific diameter, profile or blade configuration where these elements form part of the preparation. A higher flow rate can contribute to power output when combined with appropriately adjusted engine management, although this alone does not guarantee results.

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

The compressor wheel draws in and then compresses the air intended for the engine. Its diameter, profile, height, width and the arrangement of the blades all influence its aerodynamic behaviour. The right geometry can move more d'air under certain conditions, but the result also depends on the compressor housing, the turbine section, the boost pressure and the engine tuning'. A larger wheel therefore does not automatically guarantee a better result and may affect the response time.

Reliability and balancing of the hybrid turbocharger

The 360° stop: a detailed guide for The three stages distribute the axial forces over a wider area. The rotor is balanced at high speed – 150,000 rpm – on a Cimat VSR test bench, in order to minimise vibrations and mechanical stresses. However, this balancing does not compensate for either incorrect installation or a lack of lubrication.

Engine remapping and tuning

Appropriate engine management may be required for make the most of the hybrid turbo’s features. Mapping, boost pressure, fuel injection, air cooling d'The intake, exhaust and transmission must be checked in accordance with the level of preparation'. The wastegate must be adjusted during the installation and remapping of the ECU. A turbocharger on its own does not guarantee a power boost.

How do you choose the right turbo ?

Check the turbo part number d'Origin, OEM and manufacturer part numbers, as well as the model, generation, body style, engine type, power output, production period and engine code'. Having the same engine is not always enough to confirm compatibility.
