Funk Motorsport IHI VF24 Turbo Blanket – IHI Turbo Heat Management

Turbo Heat Protection Tailored for IHI VF24 Builds

The Funk Motorsport IHI VF24 Turbo Blanket is engineered specifically for the IHI VF24 turbocharger, addressing the unique thermal challenges faced by performance, off-road, and motorsport vehicles running this popular turbo. With a removable four-layer construction and a choice of premium finishes, this turbo blanket is designed to help enthusiasts and professionals control under-bonnet temperatures, protect vital components, and maintain consistent turbo performance.

How the IHI VF24 Turbo Blanket Supports Engine Bay Reliability

Turbochargers like the IHI VF24 generate intense heat, which can quickly raise engine bay temperatures and threaten the longevity of wiring, hoses, and intake components. The Funk Motorsport turbo blanket insulates the turbine housing, helping to contain radiant heat at its source. This supports lower intake air temperatures, reduces heat soak into surrounding parts, and helps maintain power delivery under demanding conditions.

Where This Turbo Blanket Makes a Difference

This product is ideal for Subaru and other platforms using the IHI VF24 turbo, especially in builds where:

• Space is limited and heat management is critical
• Engine bay reliability is essential for long-distance expeditions or track use
• Consistent turbo spool and intake temperatures are required for performance
• Routine turbo inspection or maintenance is part of the build plan

Whether you’re preparing a rally car, a tuned street build, or an off-road expedition vehicle, this blanket offers a practical solution to thermal management challenges specific to the VF24 turbo.
