Funk Motorsport Borgwarner S485 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Shield for S485 Fitment

Turbo Heat Management for Borgwarner S485 Applications

The Funk Motorsport Borgwarner S485 Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for owners and builders running the S485 turbocharger in high-performance, motorsport, or demanding off-road environments. This turbo heat shield is designed to address the specific thermal challenges of the S485, helping to control under-bonnet temperatures and protect vital engine bay components.

How the S485 Turbo Blanket Works

Turbochargers generate intense heat, especially under sustained load or high boost. Without effective insulation, this heat can soak into surrounding wiring, hoses, and intake components—reducing reliability and increasing the risk of heat-related failures. The Funk Motorsport S485 Turbo Blanket wraps securely around the turbo's turbine housing, helping to contain radiant heat and keep it away from sensitive areas. By maintaining a cooler engine bay, it supports more consistent performance and helps safeguard your build from the long-term effects of heat exposure.

Where This Turbo Blanket Makes a Difference

This product is ideal for:

• Track and motorsport vehicles running the Borgwarner S485 turbo
• Off-road and expedition builds where engine bay protection is critical
• Performance road cars with S485 turbo upgrades
• Any project where heat management and serviceability are priorities

If you are seeking to reduce heat soak, protect nearby components, or simply want a more service-friendly turbo insulation solution, this blanket is engineered for your needs.

Key Benefits for S485 Turbo Owners

• Engineered specifically for Borgwarner S485 turbocharger fitment

Construction and Materials

The Funk Motorsport S485 Turbo Blanket features a multi-layer design, including a high-grade thermal barrier core and a Titanium outer layer. This construction is selected to withstand the harsh thermal environment of a turbocharged engine bay, offering a balance of insulation, durability, and ease of handling. The removable design means you can access your turbo for maintenance without damaging the blanket—a practical advantage for both professional and enthusiast builds.

Installation and Compatibility Considerations

This turbo blanket is tailored for the Borgwarner S485 turbocharger. For best results, confirm your turbo model before purchase, as fitment is optimised for the S485 housing. Installation is straightforward and does not require special tools, but always allow the turbo to cool before fitting or removing the blanket. If your build involves custom turbo configurations or tight engine bay packaging, check for clearance before installation. Professional installation is recommended for competition vehicles or complex setups.
