Funk Motorsport Borg Warner K04-23 Turbo Blanket – Borgwarner Turbo Heat Shield

Turbo Heat Protection for Borg Warner K04-23 Applications

The Funk Motorsport Borg Warner K04-23 Turbo Blanket is designed for owners and builders who demand reliable turbo heat management in high-performance, off-road, or endurance environments. This model is engineered specifically for the Borg Warner K04-23 turbocharger, providing targeted thermal protection to help maintain engine bay temperatures and support consistent turbo performance.

How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Works

Turbochargers generate extreme heat, particularly at the turbine housing. Without effective heat containment, this radiant energy can raise under-bonnet temperatures, risking heat soak, component fatigue, and reduced intake efficiency. The Funk Motorsport turbo blanket acts as a thermal barrier, helping to contain and manage this heat at its source. By insulating the turbo, it supports:

• Lower engine bay temperatures
• Protection for hoses, wiring, and intake components
• More stable intake air temperatures
• Improved turbocharger efficiency during sustained use

Where This Turbo Blanket Excels

This turbo blanket is ideal for:

• Track day vehicles running Borg Warner K04-23 turbos
• Off-road builds exposed to prolonged engine load and low-speed airflow
• Performance street cars seeking to reduce heat soak and protect engine bay components
• Motorsport applications requiring robust, removable heat shielding for routine turbo inspection

Owners looking for a precise fit and easy maintenance will benefit from the removable design, which allows for straightforward turbo servicing without damaging the blanket.
