A hybrid turbo is a performance turbocharger: the original housing with upgraded internals, built to flow more air and make more power than the standard unit. It has nothing to do with hybrid (petrol-electric) cars.

Yes. 818988-0001, 818988-0002, 818988-1, 818988-2, 818988-5001K, 818988-5001RS, 818988-5001S and 818988-5002S are other ways of writing 818988 or later versions of the same number.
