Funk Motorsport Garrett G40-1200 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Management

Funk Motorsport Garrett G40-1200 Turbo Blanket Overview

The Funk Motorsport Garrett G40-1200 Turbo Blanket is engineered for enthusiasts and professionals seeking advanced turbo heat management for the Garrett G40-1200 turbocharger. Designed to address the intense thermal demands of high-performance builds, this turbo blanket delivers targeted protection and efficiency, making it a critical upgrade for track, off-road, and road applications where reliability and performance are paramount.

How the Garrett G40-1200 Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket is designed to insulate the turbine housing of the Garrett G40-1200, containing extreme heat generated during boost. By reducing radiant heat transfer into the engine bay, it helps protect sensitive components, supports lower intake temperatures, and enhances overall turbocharger efficiency. The result is improved reliability and consistent performance, especially under sustained load or repeated high-boost cycles.

Where the Funk Motorsport Blanket Excels

The G40-1200 Turbo Blanket is ideal for:

• Track cars running high boost and extended sessions
• Off-road vehicles exposed to demanding heat cycles
• Performance road builds seeking to maximise turbo efficiency
• Engine bays with limited space or vulnerable wiring and hoses

It is particularly useful for builds where heat soak, component fatigue, or engine bay temperatures are known issues, and where routine turbo maintenance is required.
