Funk Motorsport IHI IS20 Turbo Blanket for Targeted Turbo Heat Control

The Funk Motorsport IHI IS20 Turbo Blanket is engineered for enthusiasts and tuners seeking advanced heat management for vehicles equipped with the IHI IS20 turbocharger. Available in premium Titanium and Carbon Fibre finishes, this blanket is designed to insulate the turbo’s hot side, helping to reduce engine bay temperatures, protect sensitive components, and support consistent turbo performance under demanding conditions.

How the Funk Motorsport IS20 Turbo Blanket Improves Turbo Systems

This turbo blanket is tailored to fit the IHI IS20 turbocharger, commonly found on performance-oriented VW and Audi models such as the VW Golf GTI Mk7 and Audi A3 8V. By wrapping the turbine housing, the blanket helps contain extreme heat generated during boost, minimising radiant heat transfer into the engine bay. This containment supports:

  • Reduced risk of heat soak affecting intake temperatures
  • Protection for wiring, hoses, and plastics near the turbo
  • More stable turbocharger efficiency and response
  • Enhanced reliability for both daily-driven and track-focused vehicles

Where the IS20 Turbo Blanket Offers Real-World Value

Owners of VW and Audi vehicles running the IHI IS20 turbo—especially those with tuned engines, upgraded exhausts, or who drive in high-performance scenarios—will benefit most from this upgrade. The IS20 blanket is particularly useful for:

  • Track day builds and fast road cars where engine bay heat is a concern
  • Enthusiasts seeking to protect nearby components from long-term thermal damage
  • Drivers aiming to maintain consistent turbo response in hot climates or under repeated load
  • Anyone who values easy access for turbo maintenance, thanks to the removable design

By addressing the common problem of excessive under-bonnet heat, the Funk Motorsport IS20 Turbo Blanket helps preserve the performance and longevity of your turbo system and surrounding components.

Construction and Materials

The IS20 Turbo Blanket features Funk Motorsport’s proprietary 4-layer construction, developed to deliver significant thermal protection compared to standard turbo jackets. The choice of Titanium or Carbon Fibre finish provides both a technical and visual upgrade, ensuring the blanket withstands the harsh environment of a high-performance engine bay. The removable design is a unique feature, supporting easy access for turbo maintenance without compromising the blanket’s integrity or fit.
