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.
