Funk Motorsport IHI TD04-20T Turbo Blanket – IHI Turbo Heat Management

Turbo Heat Control for IHI TD04-20T Applications

The Funk Motorsport IHI TD04-20T Turbo Blanket is engineered for owners and builders seeking targeted heat management for vehicles running the IHI TD04-20T turbocharger. Designed to address the real-world challenge of excessive engine bay heat, this turbo blanket helps protect sensitive components, supports turbo efficiency, and contributes to overall engine reliability. Available in Titanium, Carbon Fibre, and Inside Out finishes, it is purpose-built for direct fitment to the IHI TD04-20T, making it a practical upgrade for performance, motorsport, and off-road builds where heat control is critical.

How the Funk Motorsport IHI TD04-20T Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket is designed to insulate the turbine housing of the IHI TD04-20T turbocharger. By containing radiant heat within the turbo, it helps reduce under-bonnet temperatures, minimising the risk of heat soak to intake systems, wiring, hoses, and other vulnerable engine bay components. Improved thermal containment can also support more consistent turbocharger performance, particularly in demanding driving conditions where heat build-up is a known issue.

Where This Turbo Blanket Makes a Difference

The IHI TD04-20T Turbo Blanket is especially useful for:

• Performance road cars and track builds using the IHI TD04-20T turbo
• Off-road and expedition vehicles where reliability and heat protection are essential
• Engine bays with limited space and heat-sensitive components
• Drivers seeking to reduce heat soak and protect intake efficiency

By focusing on the specific fitment for the IHI TD04-20T, this blanket ensures a secure fit and targeted protection, helping to prevent common issues such as melted wiring, degraded hoses, or performance loss from excessive heat exposure.
