The Funk Motorsport Abarth 500 (IHI) Turbo Blanket is engineered for Abarth 500 enthusiasts seeking precise heat management for their IHI turbocharger. Designed for owners who demand more from their turbocharged build—whether on the street, track, or during spirited drives—this blanket delivers targeted thermal protection where it matters most.
Turbochargers generate extreme heat, especially under boost. This heat can radiate into the engine bay, raising intake temperatures, risking damage to wiring and hoses, and reducing overall reliability. The Funk Motorsport turbo blanket acts as a high-performance thermal barrier, containing heat within the turbo housing. This helps minimise heat soak, maintain cooler intake air, and protect sensitive components from thermal stress.
This turbo blanket is ideal for:
If you’ve experienced heat-related issues—such as melted covers, brittle wiring, or inconsistent turbo response—this blanket is designed to address those problems directly for the Abarth 500 (IHI) platform.
Unmanaged turbo heat can cause a cascade of issues: heat-soaked intakes, degraded wiring, and even premature component failure. By containing heat at the source, the Funk Motorsport blanket helps maintain reliability and performance, especially during repeated high-load driving. This is particularly valuable for tuned or track-driven Abarth 500s where thermal stress is a known weak point.
The Funk Motorsport Abarth 500 (IHI) Turbo Blanket features a robust, four-layer construction that sets it apart from generic alternatives. The multi-layer design is engineered to provide up to three times the thermal protection of typical turbo blankets, supporting demanding applications. Choose from Titanium, Carbon Fibre, or Inside Out finishes—each offering the same high level of insulation, with aesthetic and handling differences to suit your preferences. The removable design ensures you can access your turbo for maintenance without sacrificing protection.
Designed for a precise fit on the Abarth 500 IHI turbo, installation is straightforward for most owners with basic mechanical skills. Always allow the turbo to cool before fitting or removing the blanket. Periodic inspection is recommended, especially after prolonged high-temperature use, to ensure continued protection and performance. The removable feature makes routine turbo servicing easier, reducing downtime for maintenance-focused builds.
