A modification done to a vehicle, which intentionally causes the vehicle to backfire (unburnt fuel entering the exhaust). Unlike other forms of automotive tuning, a burble tune offers no gains in horsepower or fuel efficiency, and is in fact more likely to cause catastrophic engine damage and accelerate wear and tear.
Often done by teenage poser car guys who are too broke to afford mods that would actually increase the performance of their vehicle.
While a proper, high-performance tune may cause a car to backfire more than stock due to running more fuel and boost, a burble tune is specifically done only for the bops and bangs caused by a backfiring.

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!

A vehicle that gets pulled over or ticked frequently, either because it's clapped out or modded to the point where a cop might question if the vehicle is still street legal or roadworthy
John: Dude Chad just bought a 3rd gen Cummins from Sarahs mom.
Anyone with more than half a brain cell: What a fucking idiot that things such a cop magnet
