The Funk Motorsport VW Golf R Mk7 IS38 Turbo Blanket is engineered specifically for owners seeking to control engine bay temperatures and protect sensitive components on the IHI IS38 turbocharger. Designed for the unique demands of the Mk7 Golf R, this turbo heat shield addresses the real-world challenges of heat soak, component wear, and inconsistent turbo performance in both tuned and standard vehicles.
This turbo blanket insulates the IS38 turbine housing, containing extreme heat within the turbo and reducing radiant heat transfer throughout the engine bay. By limiting heat exposure to wiring, hoses, and intake components, the blanket helps maintain a cooler, more stable environment under the bonnet. The result is more consistent turbo response, improved reliability, and reduced risk of heat-induced failures—especially during spirited driving, track days, or demanding road use.
This product is ideal for VW Golf R Mk7 owners who:
Whether your Golf R is a daily driver, weekend track car, or a high-performance build, this turbo blanket is a practical upgrade for managing under-bonnet heat and supporting the longevity of your vehicle's turbo system.
The Funk Motorsport IS38 Turbo Blanket features a durable 4-layer construction, designed to withstand the high temperatures generated by turbocharged engines. Both Titanium and Carbon Fibre finish options offer strong thermal insulation and a premium look. The removable design is unique among turbo blankets, allowing for easier access during routine turbo servicing—ideal for those who regularly maintain or upgrade their turbo system.
Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with turbocharged engine bays. The blanket is tailored for the IS38 turbo, ensuring a precise fit on the VW Golf R Mk7. No special tools are required. Always ensure the turbo has cooled before installation or removal, and check for secure fitment to avoid contact with moving parts. The removable feature makes ongoing maintenance and inspection more convenient than with traditional, fixed turbo blankets.
