What the Funk Motorsport IS38 Turbo Blanket Does
The Funk Motorsport VW Golf R Mk 7.5 IS38 Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for owners seeking to manage engine bay heat and protect critical components.

- Supporting more consistent turbocharger performance
- Allowing for easier maintenance with a removable design
This upgrade is especially useful for drivers who push their Golf R Mk 7.5 on track, run higher boost levels, or simply want to safeguard their investment from heat-related wear.
