Funk Motorsport DS 3 (2009–2019) N13 (Prince) Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Management

Turbo Heat Management for DS Automobiles DS 3 N13 (Prince) Engine

The Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket is engineered specifically for the DS Automobiles DS 3 (2009–2019) equipped with the N13 (Prince) engine. Designed for enthusiasts and performance-focused drivers, this turbo blanket delivers targeted thermal protection, helping to optimise turbocharger efficiency and protect vital engine bay components from excessive heat.

How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket wraps securely around the turbocharger’s hot-side housing, acting as a thermal barrier. By containing radiant heat within the turbo, it helps reduce under-bonnet temperatures, minimising heat soak to surrounding components such as wiring, hoses, and intake systems. The result is improved thermal management, supporting more consistent turbo performance and reliability during spirited driving or demanding conditions.

Where This Turbo Blanket Is Useful

Owners of DS Automobiles DS 3 models with the N13 (Prince) engine often encounter issues with heat build-up in the engine bay, especially during high-performance use or in warm climates. Excessive heat can degrade plastics, wiring, and intake components, and may contribute to reduced turbo efficiency. Installing this turbo blanket is particularly beneficial for:

• Track day and motorsport applications where sustained high temperatures are common
• Daily drivers seeking to protect engine bay components
• Modified vehicles with increased boost or aftermarket tuning
• Owners looking to extend the lifespan of nearby hoses and wiring
