Funk Motorsport Holset HX55 Turbo Blanket Overview

The Funk Motorsport Holset HX55 Turbo Blanket is engineered specifically for the Holset HX55 turbocharger, providing advanced heat management for demanding motorsport, off-road, and high-performance road applications. Built with Funk Motorsport's signature four-layer construction, this turbo blanket is designed to deliver exceptional thermal protection, supporting both performance and reliability in harsh engine bay environments.

How the Holset HX55 Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket insulates the turbine housing of your Holset HX55 turbo, containing extreme heat generated during boost and preventing it from radiating into the engine bay. By reducing under-bonnet temperatures, it helps protect sensitive wiring, hoses, and components from heat damage, while also supporting more consistent turbocharger performance by minimising heat soak.

Application Scenarios and Typical Users

The Funk Motorsport Holset HX55 Turbo Blanket is ideal for enthusiasts and professionals who demand reliable heat management in:

  • Motorsport builds requiring maximum thermal efficiency
  • Off-road vehicles exposed to prolonged high-load operation
  • Performance road cars with Holset HX55 turbo conversions
  • Expedition and endurance vehicles where component protection is critical

Whether you're chasing peak performance on track or ensuring reliability in remote environments, this blanket is designed to help safeguard your turbo system and surrounding components.

Key Benefits of the Funk Motorsport HX55 Turbo Blanket

  • Reduces under-bonnet heat, protecting wiring and hoses
  • Supports turbocharger efficiency by minimising heat soak
  • Helps prevent heat-related failures in demanding conditions
  • Enables safer, more reliable operation in motorsport and off-road use
  • Available in multiple finishes: Titanium, Carbon Fibre, and Inside Out
  • Removable design allows for routine turbo maintenance without blanket damage

Construction and Material Details

The HX55 Turbo Blanket features Funk Motorsport’s proprietary four-layer construction, offering up to three times more thermal protection compared to typical alternatives. Each blanket is available in a choice of Titanium, Carbon Fibre, or Inside Out finishes, allowing you to match your build’s requirements and style. The removable design makes it possible to service your turbo without compromising the integrity of the blanket, a unique advantage for those who regularly maintain their forced induction systems.

Installation and Usage Guidance

Designed specifically for the Holset HX55 turbo, this blanket is tailored for a precise fit around the turbine housing. Installation is straightforward for experienced enthusiasts or professional workshops, but always ensure the turbo is cool before fitting or removing the blanket. Regular inspection is recommended, especially after heavy use or exposure to extreme conditions, to maintain optimal performance and safety.
