Advanced Heat Management for IHI TD05-18G Turbos
The Funk Motorsport IHI TD05-18G Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for owners and builders seeking precise thermal control for IHI TD05-18G turbochargers. This turbo blanket is engineered to insulate the turbine housing, helping to reduce under-bonnet temperatures and protect vital engine bay components in high-performance, off-road, and track applications.
How the Funk Motorsport IHI TD05-18G Turbo Blanket Supports Your Build
Turbochargers generate intense heat, which can radiate into the engine bay, risking damage to wiring, hoses, and intake components. The Funk Motorsport blanket acts as a thermal barrier, containing heat within the turbo housing. This helps maintain lower intake air temperatures, supports more consistent turbo performance, and reduces the risk of heat-related component failure—especially important for vehicles operating under sustained load or in confined engine bays.
Where the IHI TD05-18G Turbo Blanket Excels
This turbo blanket is ideal for:
- Track and drift cars running IHI TD05-18G turbos, where repeated high-load operation can cause heat soak
- Off-road vehicles with limited airflow and increased risk of heat exposure to sensitive components
- Street builds seeking improved reliability and protection for engine bay electronics and hoses
- Enthusiasts who value easy turbo maintenance and regular inspection, thanks to the blanket's removable design
By targeting heat at its source, this blanket helps maintain engine bay reliability and can support more stable intake temperatures for consistent power delivery.
