Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket for Borgwarner S257SXE
The Funk Motorsport Borgwarner S257SXE Turbo Blanket is engineered to deliver advanced heat management for high-performance and motorsport applications. Designed specifically to fit the Borgwarner S257SXE turbocharger, this turbo blanket helps drivers and builders control engine bay temperatures, protect sensitive components, and maximise turbo efficiency under demanding conditions.
How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Works
This turbo blanket wraps securely around the turbine housing of the Borgwarner S257SXE, containing radiant heat generated during boost. By insulating the turbo, it helps to:
- Reduce heat soak into the engine bay
- Protect wiring, hoses, and nearby components from thermal damage
- Maintain cooler intake and charge air temperatures
- Support more consistent turbo performance during repeated high-load cycles
Funk Motorsport’s signature four-layer construction is designed to provide up to three times more thermal protection than typical turbo blankets, making it a trusted choice for those seeking reliable heat control.

Owners of vehicles equipped with the Borgwarner S257SXE turbocharger—whether on the road, track, or off-road—will benefit from improved thermal management. This product is especially valuable for:
- Track cars exposed to sustained high exhaust temperatures

- Performance street vehicles seeking to protect engine bay components
- Motorsport teams aiming for consistent turbo response
If your build runs the S257SXE turbo and you’re experiencing heat-related issues or want to safeguard your investment, this blanket is designed for you.
