Funk Motorsport Audi TTS IS38 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Management Upgrade

Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket for Audi TTS IS38 – Focused Heat Control for Turbocharged Performance

What the Funk Motorsport Audi TTS IS38 Turbo Blanket Does

The Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket is engineered for the IS38 turbocharger found in the Audi TTS (8S, 2015+), as well as other IS38-equipped Audi TT, TTS, and TTRS models. Its primary function is to contain and manage the intense heat generated by the turbo, reducing radiant heat transfer into the engine bay. This helps protect nearby wiring, hoses, and sensitive components, while supporting more stable intake temperatures and consistent turbo performance during spirited driving or track use.

Real-World Problem: Turbo Heat and Engine Bay Protection

Turbochargers like the IS38 can create excessive heat under the bonnet, leading to heat soak, degraded component reliability, and inconsistent engine performance. Without effective thermal management, this heat can shorten the lifespan of plastics, wiring, and even degrade intake air quality, especially in tuned or hard-driven vehicles. The Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket addresses this by acting as a thermal barrier, helping to keep engine bay temperatures in check and supporting both reliability and performance.

Where This Turbo Blanket Is Most Useful

This product is ideal for Audi TTS (8S, 2015+) owners running the IS38 turbo—whether stock or tuned—who want to protect their engine bay from heat damage, maximise turbo efficiency, or prepare their car for track days and spirited road use. It is especially valuable for builds with increased boost, upgraded intake or exhaust systems, or those seeking to maintain reliability under demanding conditions. The removable design also suits enthusiasts who perform regular turbo maintenance or modifications.
