The Funk Motorsport IHI VF49 Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for enthusiasts and professionals who demand reliable thermal control for their IHI VF49 turbocharger. By targeting the specific contours of the VF49, this blanket helps protect sensitive engine bay components, supports consistent turbo performance, and enables safer operation in high-heat environments.
This turbo blanket is designed to wrap securely around the turbine housing of the IHI VF49, containing radiant heat at its source. By reducing the amount of heat radiated into the engine bay, it helps prevent heat soak, protects wiring and hoses, and supports lower intake temperatures. The result is a more controlled thermal environment, improved reliability, and better performance potential for your turbocharged vehicle.
The Funk Motorsport IHI VF49 Turbo Blanket is ideal for:
Its removable design makes it especially useful for owners who want to perform regular turbo maintenance without damaging their heat management solution.
Funk Motorsport utilises a signature four-layer construction in all VF49 Turbo Blankets, combining robust thermal insulation with durability for demanding environments. Choose from three finish options—Titanium, Carbon Fibre, or Inside Out—each offering the same high level of heat containment while allowing you to customise the look of your engine bay.
The IHI VF49 Turbo Blanket is designed for straightforward installation with no permanent modifications required. Its removable design means you can access your turbo for maintenance or inspection without replacing the blanket. For best results, ensure the turbo housing is clean and free from oil before fitting. Installation can typically be completed with basic hand tools by experienced DIYers or professional workshops.
