Short for hybrid turbocharger, a hybrid turbo functions similarly to a conventional tubrocharger, but features a small electric motor on the shaft to reduce tubro lag. While this may not work as well as systems like anti-lag or two-step, it is generally cheaper and more reliable. It's also less of a cop magnet, as a hybrid turbo doesn't produce backfire as often. The term has nothing to do with a hybrid vehicle
Unfortunately, hybrid turbos are hard to find, and generally don't come in a kit

Mechanic 1) I'm gonna turbo my car!
Mechanic 2) Nice, you thinking anti-lag or...?
Mechanic 1) Nah, I'm throwing on a hybrid turbo.
Mechanic 2), Pfft, good like finding one bud!
