BMW 118i (F20) N13 Turbo Blanket by Funk Motorsport
Purpose-Built Turbo Heat Management for BMW 1 Series
This Funk Motorsport turbo blanket is engineered for the BMW 118i (F20) with the N13 (Prince) engine, providing a targeted solution for turbo heat containment. By insulating the turbocharger, it helps reduce under-bonnet temperatures, supporting consistent turbo performance and protecting vital engine bay components from heat exposure. This product is designed for owners seeking improved reliability and thermal management in both daily driving and high-demand scenarios.
How the Turbo Blanket Supports Your BMW 1 Series
Turbocharged engines generate significant heat, which can lead to heat soak, reduced efficiency, and premature wear of nearby wiring, hoses, and plastics. The Funk Motorsport turbo blanket addresses this by wrapping the turbo’s turbine housing, minimising radiant heat transfer. This helps maintain cooler intake temperatures and safeguards sensitive components, especially during spirited driving, track days, or extended high-load use.
When and Why to Choose This Turbo Blanket
This turbo blanket is ideal for BMW 1 Series owners with the N13 engine who:
- Drive enthusiastically or participate in track days
- Have tuned or modified engines increasing turbo output
- Experience high under-bonnet temperatures or component heat damage
- Want to extend the lifespan of engine bay plastics, hoses, and wiring
- Seek a removable, service-friendly heat management upgrade
It is also suitable for related BMW models using the N13 engine, such as the 114i, 116i, 120i, 316i, and 320i, making it a versatile choice for multiple platforms.
