Funk Motorsport Garrett GT45 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Management

Purpose-Built Heat Management for Garrett GT45 Turbos

The Funk Motorsport Garrett GT45 Turbo Blanket is engineered for enthusiasts and professionals running the Garrett GT45 turbocharger who demand precise heat control, improved reliability, and straightforward maintenance. Designed specifically for the GT45 frame, this turbo blanket addresses the unique thermal challenges of high-output turbo setups, making it a trusted choice for motorsport, track, and performance street builds.

How the GT45 Turbo Blanket Supports Your Build

Turbochargers generate intense heat, especially under sustained load or high boost. Without proper insulation, this heat radiates into the engine bay, risking damage to wiring, hoses, and sensitive components, and raising intake temperatures. The Funk Motorsport GT45 Turbo Blanket is designed to contain this heat at the turbine housing, helping to:

• Protect engine bay components from thermal stress
• Support more stable intake and under-bonnet temperatures
• Reduce the risk of heat soak affecting performance
• Enable easier, safer maintenance with its removable design

This blanket is especially useful for builds where space is tight, components are close to the turbo, or reliability is critical under demanding conditions.

Choosing the Right Finish for Your Application

The GT45 Turbo Blanket is available in three distinct finishes, each offering unique benefits:

• Titanium: A popular choice for its balance of heat resistance and subtle appearance, suitable for most performance and street builds.
• Carbon Fibre: Offers a premium look and is favoured by those seeking a motorsport-inspired aesthetic, while maintaining strong thermal insulation.
• Inside Out: Designed for extreme environments or those prioritising maximum durability, with the insulation layer exposed for direct heat dissipation and visual inspection.

Select the finish that best matches your build’s requirements—whether you prioritise stealth, style, or rugged endurance.

Why Choose This Turbo Blanket Over Alternatives?

Unlike generic turbo covers, the Funk Motorsport GT45 Turbo Blanket is tailored for the GT45 turbocharger, ensuring a precise fit and optimal coverage. Its multi-layer construction is designed to withstand the severe temperatures produced by large-frame turbos, offering robust protection without compromising accessibility. The removable feature allows for routine inspection and maintenance—ideal for those who regularly service their turbo setup or compete in motorsport events.
