Funk Motorsport DS 4 (2010–2018) N13 (Prince) Turbo Blanket – DS Automobiles Turbo Heat Management

Turbo Heat Management for DS 4 N13 (Prince) Engines

The Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket is engineered specifically for the DS Automobiles DS 4 (2010–2018) fitted with the N13 (Prince) engine. Designed to address the unique thermal challenges of this turbocharged platform, this turbo blanket helps manage under-bonnet temperatures, protecting sensitive components and supporting consistent performance. Available in both Titanium and Carbon Fibre finishes, it incorporates Funk Motorsport’s signature four-layer construction for robust heat insulation.

How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket wraps securely around the turbocharger’s turbine housing, acting as a thermal barrier. By containing radiant heat within the turbo, it reduces the transfer of high temperatures to the surrounding engine bay. This helps safeguard wiring, hoses, and plastics, while also minimising heat soak into intake and cooling systems. The result is improved reliability and more stable performance, especially during spirited driving or repeated boost cycles.

Where This Turbo Blanket Excels

The DS 4 N13 engine is known for its compact bay and proximity of critical components to the turbocharger. Excessive heat can lead to premature wear, degraded performance, or even component failure. The Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket is especially useful for:

• Performance builds seeking to maximise turbo efficiency
• Track day or fast road applications where repeated heat cycles are common
• Owners looking to protect engine bay components from thermal damage
• Reducing under-bonnet temperatures for improved intake air quality

Key Benefits for DS 4 N13 Owners

• Helps reduce engine bay heat and protect sensitive components
• Supports more consistent turbo performance by limiting heat soak
• Available in Titanium or Carbon Fibre finishes to suit your build
• Four-layer construction for enhanced thermal protection
• Designed for easy removal during turbo maintenance

Construction and Materials

Funk Motorsport’s four-layer design is developed to deliver up to three times more thermal protection than typical competitor products. The available finishes—Titanium and Carbon Fibre—offer both functional heat resistance and a premium appearance. The blanket is engineered to be removable, allowing for routine turbo inspection or maintenance without permanent modification.

Installation and Use

Installation is straightforward for those familiar with turbocharger systems. The blanket is designed to fit the N13 (Prince) turbo housing on DS 4 (2010–2018) models. Removal is simple, making it suitable for builds that require regular turbo access. No special tools are required, but care should be taken to ensure a secure fit and avoid contact with moving parts.
