Advanced Heat Management for IHI VF49 Turbochargers
The Funk Motorsport IHI VF49 Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for enthusiasts and professionals who demand reliable thermal control for their IHI VF49 turbocharger. By targeting the specific contours of the VF49, this blanket helps protect sensitive engine bay components, supports consistent turbo performance, and enables safer operation in high-heat environments.
How the IHI VF49 Turbo Blanket Supports Your Build
This turbo blanket is designed to wrap securely around the turbine housing of the IHI VF49, containing radiant heat at its source. By reducing the amount of heat radiated into the engine bay, it helps prevent heat soak, protects wiring and hoses, and supports lower intake temperatures. The result is a more controlled thermal environment, improved reliability, and better performance potential for your turbocharged vehicle.
When to Choose the VF49 Turbo Blanket
The Funk Motorsport IHI VF49 Turbo Blanket is ideal for:
Track and motorsport builds where thermal management is critical
Street-tuned vehicles running the IHI VF49 turbo
Off-road and expedition vehicles exposed to challenging heat conditions
Any application where protecting engine bay components and maintaining turbo efficiency is a priority
Its removable design makes it especially useful for owners who want to perform regular turbo maintenance without damaging their heat management solution.

Installation and Usage Notes
The IHI VF49 Turbo Blanket is designed for straightforward installation with no permanent modifications required. Its removable design means you can access your turbo for maintenance or inspection without replacing the blanket. For best results, ensure the turbo housing is clean and free from oil before fitting.
