Holset HX52 Turbo Blanket for Demanding Heat Management
The Funk Motorsport Holset HX52 Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for the Holset HX52 turbocharger, providing targeted heat containment for high-output builds. Designed for enthusiasts and professionals seeking to manage engine bay temperatures, this blanket is a direct-fit solution that supports both performance and reliability in motorsport, off-road, and heavy-duty applications.
How the Funk Motorsport HX52 Turbo Blanket Works
This turbo blanket insulates the turbine housing of the Holset HX52, helping to contain the intense heat generated during boost. By reducing radiant heat in the engine bay, it helps protect nearby wiring, hoses, and sensitive components, while also supporting lower intake temperatures and more consistent turbocharger efficiency. This is especially important for vehicles operating under sustained load or in confined engine bays, where heat soak can compromise performance and reliability.
