Advanced Heat Management for IHI TD04L-14T Turbos
The Funk Motorsport IHI TD04L-14T Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for owners and builders seeking reliable heat control for the IHI TD04L-14T turbocharger. This product is engineered to address the real-world challenges of excessive engine bay temperatures, helping to safeguard critical components and maintain consistent turbo performance in demanding conditions.
How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Supports Your Build
Turbochargers generate intense heat, which can quickly overwhelm nearby wiring, hoses, and intake components. The Funk Motorsport turbo blanket is designed to insulate the turbine housing, trapping heat within the turbo core. This helps:
- Reduce radiant heat transfer to the engine bay
- Minimise heat soak into intake pipes and electronics
- Support lower intake air temperatures for improved efficiency
- Protect vulnerable components from thermal degradation
The removable design allows for easy access during turbo maintenance, making it a practical upgrade for vehicles that see regular servicing or tuning adjustments.
Where the IHI TD04L-14T Turbo Blanket Excels
This turbo blanket is ideal for:
- Performance road cars running IHI TD04L-14T turbos
- Track and motorsport builds requiring stable intake temperatures
- Off-road and expedition vehicles exposed to harsh thermal environments
- Custom turbo conversions based on the TD04L-14T platform
By reducing under-bonnet heat, it helps maintain consistent power delivery and extends the life of surrounding components—especially important for vehicles operating under sustained load or in confined engine bays.
