Funk Motorsport IHI TD04-16T Turbo Blanket – IHI Turbo Heat Management

Turbo Heat Management for IHI TD04-16T Applications

The Funk Motorsport IHI TD04-16T Turbo Blanket is engineered to address the critical issue of heat in high-performance and off-road turbocharged vehicles. Designed specifically for the IHI TD04-16T turbo, this blanket helps manage extreme turbine temperatures, protecting sensitive engine bay components and supporting consistent turbo performance under demanding conditions.

How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Supports Your Build

This turbo blanket acts as a thermal barrier, wrapping securely around the turbine housing of your IHI TD04-16T. By containing radiant heat, it helps to:

• Reduce heat soak into the engine bay
• Shield wiring, hoses, and sensors from thermal damage
• Support stable turbo response by maintaining exhaust gas velocity
• Enhance reliability during extended track, off-road, or spirited road use

Unlike generic turbo covers, this model is tailored for the TD04-16T, ensuring a precise fit and optimal coverage.

Who Should Choose This Turbo Blanket?

This product is ideal for enthusiasts and professionals running the IHI TD04-16T turbo in:

• Track cars where heat management is crucial for performance and safety
• Off-road builds exposed to prolonged engine loads and limited airflow
• Tuned road vehicles seeking to protect engine bay components and maintain turbo efficiency
• Projects where routine turbo maintenance is required—thanks to the removable design

If your turbocharger uses a custom or non-standard housing, check fitment carefully or consult Funk Motorsport before purchase.
