Funk Motorsport HKS T04Z Turbo Blanket – HKS Turbo Heat Management

Specialist Heat Control for HKS T04Z Turbochargers

The Funk Motorsport HKS T04Z Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for owners and builders running the HKS T04Z turbocharger in high-performance, motorsport, or demanding street applications. This turbo blanket is engineered to deliver targeted heat management, helping protect your engine bay from excessive radiant heat and supporting consistent turbo efficiency under extreme conditions.

How the Funk Motorsport HKS T04Z Turbo Blanket Works

Turbochargers generate intense heat, especially under sustained boost. Without proper insulation, this heat can soak into nearby wiring, hoses, and intake components, risking reliability and performance. The Funk Motorsport blanket is designed to wrap the turbine housing of the HKS T04Z, containing and isolating this heat. By keeping thermal energy within the turbo, it helps reduce engine bay temperatures, minimises heat soak, and supports faster turbo spool-up.

Where This Blanket Makes a Difference

This product is ideal for:

• Track cars and competition builds where thermal management is critical
• Street vehicles running the HKS T04Z turbo seeking improved reliability
• Turbocharged engines with tight engine bays or sensitive electronics nearby
• Owners who value both performance and the ability to perform routine turbo maintenance

Unlike generic turbo covers, this blanket is tailored for the HKS T04Z, ensuring a precise fit and effective insulation where it matters most.
