Funk Motorsport IHI VF14 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Management Upgrade

Funk Motorsport IHI VF14 Turbo Blanket for Targeted Heat Control

The Funk Motorsport IHI VF14 Turbo Blanket is engineered specifically for the IHI VF14 turbocharger, delivering focused heat management for motorsport, off-road, and performance road builds. Designed to insulate the turbine housing, this blanket helps protect sensitive engine bay components from excessive radiant heat, supporting overall reliability and turbo efficiency in demanding environments.

How the IHI VF14 Turbo Blanket Supports Your Build

Turbochargers like the IHI VF14 generate intense heat during operation, which can lead to heat soak, degraded wiring or hoses, and reduced performance if left unmanaged. This turbo blanket wraps securely around the VF14 turbine housing, helping to contain and insulate heat. By minimising heat transfer to the surrounding engine bay, it supports lower intake temperatures and shields nearby components from thermal stress.

Where This Turbo Blanket Makes a Difference

This product is ideal for drivers and builders running the IHI VF14 turbo in:

• Motorsport or track day vehicles seeking consistent turbo performance
• Off-road builds where engine bay heat can threaten reliability
• Performance road cars with limited under-bonnet space
• Any application where thermal management is a priority

By helping to control radiant heat, the blanket can reduce the risk of heat soak, protect vital wiring and hoses, and support more stable intake air temperatures—especially valuable in high-load or repeated boost scenarios.

Key Benefits for IHI VF14 Turbo Owners

• Engineered for precise fitment on IHI VF14 turbochargers
• Helps reduce under-bonnet temperatures and manage heat soak
