Funk Motorsport IHI VF22 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Shield for IHI VF22

Funk Motorsport IHI VF22 Turbo Blanket Overview

The Funk Motorsport IHI VF22 Turbo Blanket is a performance-engineered heat shield designed specifically for the IHI VF22 turbocharger. Developed for demanding motorsport and high-performance road applications, this turbo blanket is crafted to help control under-bonnet temperatures, protect sensitive engine bay components, and support turbocharger efficiency. Available in Titanium, Carbon Fibre, and Inside Out finishes, Funk Motorsport's signature 4-layer construction sets a new benchmark for thermal management in turbocharged vehicles.

How the IHI VF22 Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket wraps securely around the turbine housing of the IHI VF22, acting as a thermal barrier. By containing extreme heat within the turbocharger, it helps reduce radiant heat transfer to nearby wiring, hoses, and intake components. This containment supports lower engine bay temperatures, minimises heat soak, and helps maintain consistent turbo performance even during extended high-load operation.

Where the Funk Motorsport IHI VF22 Turbo Blanket Excels

The IHI VF22 Turbo Blanket is ideal for:

• Track cars and motorsport builds requiring maximum heat management
• Street performance vehicles with upgraded or factory IHI VF22 turbos
• Off-road and expedition rigs where reliability and component protection are critical
• Any application where engine bay heat threatens reliability or performance

By reducing heat soak, this blanket helps preserve intake air density, protects adjacent components, and supports safer, more reliable operation under demanding conditions.
