Funk Motorsport Audi A1/S1 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Shield

Turbo Heat Management for Audi A1/S1 Owners

The Funk Motorsport Audi A1/S1 Turbo Blanket is engineered for enthusiasts and daily drivers seeking effective turbo heat control and added engine bay protection. Designed specifically for the turbocharger found in Audi A1 and S1 models, this thermal barrier helps manage under-bonnet temperatures, supporting both performance and component longevity.

How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket insulates the turbine housing, reducing the amount of radiant heat escaping into the engine bay. By containing heat at the source, it helps protect nearby hoses, wiring, and plastics from thermal damage, while supporting more consistent turbocharger performance during spirited driving or track use. The removable design allows for easy access to the turbo during maintenance, making it a practical upgrade for owners who value both performance and serviceability.

• Performance-focused builds aiming to control engine bay temperatures
• Track day or motorsport vehicles where heat management is critical
• Daily drivers seeking preventative protection for wiring and plastics
• Owners upgrading turbo systems or aiming to extend component life
