Funk Motorsport Garrett GT40R Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Shield for GT40R Turbos

High-Performance Heat Shielding for Garrett GT40R Turbos

The Funk Motorsport Garrett GT40R Turbo Blanket is engineered for owners and builders running the renowned GT40R turbocharger. Designed to address the real-world challenges of engine bay heat, this turbo blanket helps protect critical components, supports turbo efficiency, and allows for easier maintenance—making it a practical upgrade for both performance and reliability-focused builds.

How the Funk Motorsport GT40R Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket is purpose-built for the Garrett GT40R, wrapping the turbine housing to contain and manage radiant heat. By reducing heat transfer from the turbo’s hot side, it helps prevent heat soak into nearby hoses, wiring, and intake components. This containment supports lower engine bay temperatures, which can improve reliability and reduce the risk of heat-related failures during demanding use.

Where This Turbo Blanket Makes a Difference

Heat management is a critical concern for high-powered builds, especially in tight engine bays or vehicles subjected to sustained loads. The GT40R Turbo Blanket is particularly valuable for:

• Track and motorsport vehicles seeking consistent turbo performance
• Road cars with limited space and sensitive electronics near the turbo
• Off-road and expedition vehicles exposed to prolonged engine stress
• Custom builds where protecting intake and wiring is essential

By helping to keep engine bay temperatures in check, this blanket supports more stable intake air temperatures and can contribute to improved turbocharger longevity.
