The Funk Motorsport IHI VL37 Turbo Blanket is engineered for owners and builders running the IHI VL37 turbocharger who demand reliable heat control in high-performance, track, or off-road environments. This turbo blanket is purpose-built to insulate the VL37 turbine housing, helping to protect sensitive engine bay components and support consistent turbocharger efficiency.
Turbochargers generate intense heat, especially under sustained boost or motorsport conditions. Excessive radiant heat can degrade wiring, hoses, and intake components, and may contribute to heat soak that reduces performance and reliability. The Funk Motorsport turbo blanket wraps the hot side of the IHI VL37, acting as a thermal barrier to contain heat within the turbine housing. This helps lower under-bonnet temperatures and supports optimal exhaust gas velocity, which can benefit turbo response.
This turbo blanket is ideal for:
By containing turbo heat, this product helps extend the lifespan of nearby parts, supports safer engine bay temperatures, and can make routine maintenance easier thanks to its removable design.
Each finish offers the same core four-layer insulation but with distinct characteristics:
All finishes deliver the same level of thermal protection, allowing buyers to select based on visual preference or build theme.
The Funk Motorsport IHI VL37 Turbo Blanket is designed for straightforward installation on the standard VL37 turbine housing. The removable design means the blanket can be detached and refitted during turbo maintenance, making it suitable for builds that require regular inspection or adjustment. Ensure the blanket is fitted securely and does not interfere with moving parts. Periodic checks are recommended, especially after hard use or exposure to extreme temperatures.

Many of the products we sell are made to order, imported or custom built, so a lead time may apply. If you need a part urgently, contact us before ordering and we will confirm the expected delivery timeframe and process.
It insulates the turbo’s hot side, reducing radiant heat in the engine bay and helping protect wiring, hoses, and intake components from heat damage.
All finishes provide the same level of heat insulation. The main differences are in appearance and, for the Inside Out version, the ability to monitor insulation wear more easily.
Yes, the design allows for straightforward removal and reinstallation, making it suitable for builds that require regular turbo inspection or servicing.
This blanket is designed for the standard IHI VL37 turbo housing. For modified or custom turbos, check dimensions or consult Funk Motorsport for guidance.
Most experienced enthusiasts can install the blanket themselves, but professional fitting is recommended for optimal placement in high-performance or motorsport builds.
Choose based on your preferred engine bay look or build theme—Titanium for classic durability, Carbon Fibre for a modern aesthetic, or Inside Out for a unique style and easy wear inspection.
Check dimensions, mounting points, clearance and any wiring or hose requirements against your setup before ordering.
