Funk Motorsport IHI VF35 Turbo Blanket for Targeted Turbo Heat Control
The Funk Motorsport IHI VF35 Turbo Blanket is engineered for owners and tuners running the IHI VF35 turbocharger, a popular choice in Subaru performance builds. This turbo blanket is designed to address the real-world challenge of excessive engine bay heat, helping protect vital components and supporting consistent turbo performance in demanding conditions.
How the IHI VF35 Turbo Blanket Supports Engine Bay Protection
Turbochargers generate extreme heat, especially under sustained boost or spirited driving. Without proper thermal management, this heat can degrade wiring, hoses, and intake components, leading to reliability issues and heat soak. The Funk Motorsport IHI VF35 Turbo Blanket wraps securely around the turbo’s turbine housing, helping to contain radiant heat and reduce under-bonnet temperatures.
Where This Turbo Blanket Delivers Value
This product is especially suited for:
- Subaru owners running the IHI VF35 turbo, including many Impreza WRX and Forester XT models (verify your turbo model before purchase)
- Performance builds where engine bay heat is a known issue
- Track day and motorsport vehicles seeking improved reliability under sustained load
- Off-road and expedition builds exposed to slow-speed, high-load scenarios
By reducing heat transfer, the blanket helps extend the life of nearby components and supports more stable intake temperatures for consistent turbo response.
Key Benefits for VF35 Turbo Owners
- Helps lower engine bay temperatures, protecting wiring and hoses
- Supports more consistent intake air temperatures for improved turbo efficiency
- Removable design allows for easier turbo inspection and maintenance
- Available in Titanium, Carbon Fibre, and Inside Out finishes for tailored engine bay aesthetics
- Developed for demanding performance and motorsport environments
Construction and Finish Options
The Funk Motorsport IHI VF35 Turbo Blanket features a multi-layer construction designed to withstand the high temperatures produced by the turbo’s turbine housing. Buyers can select from three distinct finishes—Titanium, Carbon Fibre, or Inside Out—each offering robust heat resistance and a unique appearance. The removable design is particularly useful for those who perform regular turbo maintenance or inspection.
Installation and Usage Guidance
This turbo blanket is tailored for the IHI VF35, ensuring a snug and effective fit. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with turbocharger systems, but always ensure the turbo is fully cooled before fitting or removing the blanket. Periodic inspection is recommended, especially after extended use in high-temperature conditions, to maintain optimal performance and safety.
