Funk Motorsport Ford Explorer ST Twin Turbo Blanket – Ford Turbo Heat Management

Turbo Heat Management for Ford Explorer ST Twin Turbo

The Funk Motorsport Ford Explorer ST Twin Turbo Blanket is engineered for owners seeking targeted turbo heat management on the Ford Explorer ST twin-turbo platform. Designed to insulate the turbocharger turbine housings, this product helps reduce under-bonnet temperatures, protect sensitive engine bay components, and support consistent turbocharger performance during spirited driving or demanding conditions.

How the Turbo Blanket Works in Your Ford Explorer ST

This turbo blanket is designed to wrap securely around the turbocharger turbine housings of the Ford Explorer ST's twin-turbo system. By containing radiant heat at the source, it helps:

• Reduce heat transfer to wiring, hoses, and plastics in the engine bay
• Support more stable intake air temperatures for improved reliability
• Minimise the risk of heat soak affecting turbo response
• Enhance the longevity of nearby components exposed to high temperatures

Where This Turbo Blanket Makes a Difference

Turbocharged engines generate significant heat, especially under load or during performance tuning. Excessive engine bay heat can damage wiring, degrade plastics, and reduce the efficiency of intake and cooling systems. This turbo blanket is particularly useful for:

• Ford Explorer ST owners running higher boost or performance modifications
• Drivers experiencing heat-related reliability issues
• Builders seeking a removable, service-friendly turbo insulation solution
• Anyone aiming to prolong the life of engine bay components
