We study theoretically current quantization in the charge turnstile based on the hybrid (SINIS or NISIN) SET transistor. The quantization accuracy is limited by either Andreev reflection or by Cooper pair - electron cotunneling. The rates of these processes are calculated in the ``above-the-threshold'' regime when they compete directly with the lowest-order tunneling. We show that by shaping the ac gate voltage driving the turnstile, it should be possible to achieve the metrological accuracy of $10^{-8}$, while maintaining the absolute value of the quantized current on the order of 30 pA, just by one turnstile with realistic parameters using aluminium as superconductor.
