This product is designed for enthusiasts and professionals seeking to control under-bonnet temperatures, protect sensitive components, and support consistent turbocharger performance under demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Funk Motorsport IHI VF36 Turbo Blanket Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy wrapping the turbine housing of the IHI VF36 turbo, this blanket helps contain extreme exhaust heat, reducing radiant temperatures in the engine bay. This insulation minimises the risk of heat damage to wiring, hoses, and nearby components, while also helping to reduce heat soak that can affect turbo efficiency and responsiveness. The result is a cooler, more reliable engine bay environment—especially valuable for vehicles running higher boost, aggressive mapping, or extended hard driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal Applications and Use Cases\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis turbo blanket is best suited for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrack and motorsport vehicles where heat management is critical for reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-road builds exposed to prolonged high-load or low-speed operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePerformance road cars with upgraded or high-output IHI VF36 turbos\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAny application where protecting engine bay components from turbo heat is essential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwners of Subaru STI models and other platforms using the IHI VF36 turbo will benefit from improved component longevity and more stable turbo performance in both daily and extreme use scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits for the Enthusiast\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces under-bonnet temperatures to protect wiring, hoses, and electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports more consistent turbocharger response by limiting heat soak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemovable design allows for easy turbo inspection and maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in multiple finishes (Titanium, Carbon Fibre, Inside Out) to suit build style and thermal needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEngineered for high-performance and motorsport environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Funk Motorsport IHI VF36 Turbo Blanket features a multi-layer construction, combining heat-resistant materials for maximum insulation and durability.
