Funk Motorsport Garrett GTD2872VRK Turbo Blanket – GTD VNT Turbo Heat Shield

Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket for Garrett GTD2872VRK GTD VNT Turbos

Purpose-Built Heat Management for Garrett GTD2872VRK Turbos

This Funk Motorsport turbo blanket is engineered specifically for the Garrett GTD2872VRK GTD VNT turbocharger, providing advanced heat management and protection for high-performance and motorsport applications. Designed to fit the unique contours of the GTD2872VRK, this turbo blanket helps reduce under-bonnet temperatures, safeguarding critical components and supporting consistent turbo efficiency.

How the Turbo Blanket Enhances Performance

Turbochargers generate intense heat during operation, which can lead to heat soak, reduced efficiency, and potential damage to nearby wiring, hoses, and engine bay components. The Funk Motorsport GTD2872VRK turbo blanket acts as a thermal barrier, containing heat within the turbo’s turbine housing. This containment minimises radiant heat transfer, helping maintain lower engine bay temperatures and supporting optimal turbocharger performance.

Where This Turbo Blanket Makes a Difference

This product is ideal for drivers seeking to maximise the reliability and performance of their Garrett GTD2872VRK-equipped vehicles. Whether on the track, off-road, or during spirited road use, the turbo blanket is especially valuable in builds where space is tight and heat exposure is a concern. It is well-suited for:

• Motorsport and competition vehicles
• High-performance road cars with upgraded turbos
• Off-road builds requiring robust heat management
• Any application where engine bay heat control is critical
