Advanced Heat Management for Borg Warner KKK K16 Turbos
The Funk Motorsport Borg Warner KKK K16 Turbo Blanket is engineered for owners and builders seeking reliable heat control for vehicles equipped with the K16 turbocharger. Designed to address the real-world challenges of engine bay heat, this turbo blanket helps protect sensitive components, supports consistent turbo performance, and offers a practical solution for both road and motorsport applications.
How the Funk Motorsport K16 Turbo Blanket Works
This turbo blanket is specifically tailored to fit the Borg Warner KKK K16 turbo. By insulating the turbine housing, it helps contain extreme temperatures within the turbocharger itself. This reduces radiant heat transfer to surrounding wiring, hoses, and intake components, which is critical for maintaining reliability and preventing heat-related failures during demanding driving conditions.
Where This Turbo Blanket Makes a Difference
The K16 Turbo Blanket is ideal for high-performance builds, track cars, fast-road vehicles, and off-road projects where engine bay temperatures can compromise performance or component longevity. It is especially useful in engine bays with limited space or where heat-sensitive electronics and hoses are routed near the turbo. If you are upgrading for increased boost, running extended sessions, or simply want to protect your investment, this blanket is designed to help.
