Targeted Turbo Heat Management for Audi S3 (8V) IS38
The Funk Motorsport IS38 Turbo Blanket is engineered for the Audi S3 (8V) equipped with the IS38 turbocharger, offering advanced thermal protection for owners who demand consistent performance and reliability. This product is ideal for drivers seeking to control under-bonnet temperatures, whether on spirited road drives, track days, or tuned builds where heat management is critical.
How the IS38 Turbo Blanket Supports Your Build
Turbochargers generate intense heat, which can lead to heat soak, reduced component lifespan, and inconsistent power delivery. The Funk Motorsport IS38 Turbo Blanket wraps the turbine housing, effectively containing radiant heat and minimising its impact on surrounding engine bay components. By reducing heat transfer, it helps protect hoses, wiring, and intake parts from thermal stress, supporting both performance and reliability.
Practical Applications and Who Should Choose This Blanket
This turbo blanket is designed for Audi S3 (8V) owners running the IS38 turbo—factory or equivalent. It is especially valuable for:
Track and performance enthusiasts seeking stable intake temperatures
Tuned or modified S3s operating at higher boost levels
Owners looking to extend the life of engine bay components
Anyone wanting easy access for turbo maintenance thanks to the removable design
If you are upgrading your S3 for more power or reliability, this blanket provides a proven solution to common heat-related issues.
Key Benefits of the Funk Motorsport IS38 Turbo Blanket
Direct fitment for Audi S3 (8V) IS38 turbochargers
Helps prevent heat soak and protects sensitive components
Supports consistent turbo efficiency and power output
Removable design for straightforward turbo inspection and maintenance

Material Choices: Titanium vs Carbon Fibre Finishes
The IS38 Turbo Blanket is offered in two finishes:
Titanium: Known for its high heat resistance and durability, ideal for demanding track or high-boost applications.
Carbon Fibre: Offers a lightweight, distinctive look while still delivering robust thermal protection for street or show builds.
Both finishes use Funk Motorsport's signature 4-layer construction, but Titanium is generally preferred for maximum thermal endurance, while Carbon Fibre appeals to those prioritising aesthetics alongside performance.
