What are Hybrid Turbos....

Recommended Posts

A hybrid turbo is simply a turbo that is non-standard, but more specifically combines parts from different frame sizes and in some cases from different manufacturers.

 

Hybrid turbos can be designed and modified in very different ways; this can be as simple as fitting just a 360 degree thrust bearing or even less exciting a ‘Staggered Gap’ total seal piston ring. If this is done, then technically the turbocharger is a Hybrid because it differs from the standard manufacturer’s specification, and therefore, can no longer be deemed a standard turbocharger.
