Funk Motorsport Borg Warner KKK K26 Turbo Blanket – Borgwarner Turbo Heat Management

Funk Motorsport K26 Turbo Blanket for Borg Warner KKK – Targeted Heat Management

Purpose-Built Turbo Blanket for Borg Warner KKK K26

The Funk Motorsport Borg Warner KKK K26 Turbo Blanket is engineered specifically for owners running the K26 turbocharger, whether on performance road builds, motorsport applications, or off-road vehicles. This turbo blanket is designed to address the unique heat management challenges of the K26 platform, helping to protect engine bay components and support consistent turbo efficiency under demanding conditions.

How the Funk Motorsport K26 Turbo Blanket Works

Turbochargers generate intense heat, especially around the turbine housing. Without effective thermal containment, this heat radiates into the engine bay, risking damage to wiring, hoses, and intake components, and contributing to heat soak that can reduce performance and reliability. The K26 Turbo Blanket wraps securely around the turbo’s hot side, helping to contain radiant heat and lowering under-bonnet temperatures. This supports more stable intake air temperatures and helps prevent heat-related failures in adjacent components.

Where This Turbo Blanket Excels

This product is ideal for:

• Track and motorsport builds using Borg Warner KKK K26 turbos
• Off-road and expedition vehicles seeking to protect critical engine bay components
• Performance road cars aiming for improved turbo response and reliability
• Any application where engine bay heat poses a risk to vehicle longevity or performance

By choosing a turbo blanket tailored for the K26, you benefit from a precise fit and targeted heat management, supporting both power delivery and component protection.

Key Advantages for K26 Turbo Owners
