Funk Motorsport Garrett GTX2863r Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Shield

Funk Motorsport Garrett GTX2863r Turbo Blanket Overview

The Funk Motorsport Garrett GTX2863r Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for owners running the Garrett GTX2863r turbocharger who demand superior heat management and engine bay protection. This advanced turbo heat shield is engineered to help reduce under-bonnet temperatures, improve turbocharger efficiency, and safeguard critical components from excessive heat exposure during high-performance or demanding driving conditions.

How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Works

Turbochargers generate extreme heat, especially under load. Without adequate insulation, this heat can radiate into the engine bay, affecting wiring, hoses, and intake temperatures, and potentially reducing overall vehicle reliability. The Funk Motorsport GTX2863r Turbo Blanket is designed to wrap securely around the turbo’s turbine housing, containing and isolating this heat. This helps maintain lower engine bay temperatures and supports more consistent turbo performance by minimising heat soak.

Where This Turbo Blanket Makes a Difference

This turbo blanket is ideal for:

• Track day and motorsport vehicles seeking maximum thermal control
• Road cars with performance upgrades requiring improved engine bay protection
• Off-road and expedition builds where reliability in harsh conditions is essential
• Anyone running a Garrett GTX2863r turbocharger who wants to enhance component longevity and reduce the risk of heat-related failures

Key Benefits of the Garrett GTX2863r Turbo Blanket

• Helps reduce engine bay temperatures for improved reliability
• Supports turbocharger efficiency by limiting heat soak
• Protects nearby wiring, hoses, and intake components from radiant heat
• Removable design allows for routine turbo maintenance without destroying the blanket
• Available in Titanium, Carbon Fibre, and Inside Out finishes to suit different build aesthetics and requirements
• Signature 4-layer Funk Motorsport construction for enhanced thermal protection

Construction and Material Details

Funk Motorsport’s 4-layer construction sets this turbo blanket apart, offering up to three times more thermal protection than many competitor products. The blanket is available in multiple finishes, including Titanium, Carbon Fibre, and Inside Out, allowing you to match your build’s requirements and style. Each layer is engineered to withstand the extreme temperatures generated by the turbocharger, providing robust and reliable heat containment for the Garrett GTX2863r.

Installation and Usage Notes

This turbo blanket is designed specifically for the Garrett GTX2863r turbocharger, ensuring a secure and precise fit. The removable design means you can easily access the turbo for maintenance or inspection without damaging the blanket, making it a practical choice for those who regularly service their forced induction system. Installation should be performed with care, ensuring the blanket is correctly positioned and secured to maximise its effectiveness.
