Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket for Mini John Cooper Works GP B48 Engine
Engineered specifically for the Mini John Cooper Works GP equipped with the B48 engine, the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket is a dedicated heat management solution designed to insulate your turbocharger and protect your engine bay from excessive heat. This product is part of the Funk Motorsport Mini Turbo Blankets range, offering advanced thermal protection for high-performance Mini models.
How the Turbo Blanket Improves Turbocharger Performance
The turbo blanket wraps around the turbocharger’s hot side, containing radiant heat within the turbine housing. By minimising heat transfer into the engine bay, it helps maintain lower under-bonnet temperatures. This supports improved turbo efficiency, reduces the risk of heat soak to sensitive components, and can contribute to more consistent performance during spirited driving or track use.
Application: Where This Turbo Blanket Excels
This Funk Motorsport turbo blanket is tailored for the Mini John Cooper Works GP with the B48 engine. It is ideal for owners seeking enhanced thermal management, whether for road, track, or fast road builds. The blanket is especially useful for:
- Reducing engine bay heat exposure to wiring, hoses, and intake components
- Supporting turbocharger efficiency by retaining heat within the turbine
- Improving reliability during repeated high-load or track sessions
- Protecting nearby components from thermal degradation

Construction and Material Details
The Funk Motorsport Mini Turbo Blanket features a multi-layered construction, with both Titanium and Carbon Fibre finish options. The four-layer design is engineered to maximise heat retention within the turbo housing while providing durability for demanding applications. This construction helps deliver superior thermal protection compared to standard turbo jackets, making it suitable for high-performance and track-focused Minis.
Installation and Usage Guidance
This turbo blanket is designed for direct fitment to the Mini John Cooper Works GP B48 engine turbocharger. The removable design means it can be taken off for turbo inspection or maintenance, a unique feature among turbo blankets. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with turbocharger components, but professional fitting is recommended for optimal results and safety. Always ensure the blanket is correctly secured and does not interfere with moving parts or sensors.
