Funk Motorsport Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Shield

Turbo Heat Management for Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3 Owners

The Funk Motorsport Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3 Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for Evo 3 enthusiasts seeking reliable turbo heat containment and engine bay protection. Developed by Funk Motorsport, a leader in performance heat management, this turbo blanket is tailored to the unique requirements of the Evo 3 turbocharger, supporting both spirited road use and demanding motorsport applications.

How the Turbo Blanket Protects Your Evo 3

Turbochargers generate intense heat, which can quickly lead to heat soak, degraded wiring, and premature wear of plastics and hoses in the engine bay. The Funk Motorsport turbo blanket is designed to insulate the turbo housing, helping to:

• Reduce under-bonnet temperatures
• Protect adjacent components from thermal damage
• Support consistent turbocharger efficiency
• Minimise risk of heat-induced reliability issues

This is especially valuable for Evo 3 builds used on track, in competition, or for high-performance road driving where thermal stress is a genuine concern.

Where This Turbo Blanket Makes a Difference

This blanket is ideal for:

• Track and motorsport Evo 3s seeking improved thermal control
• Road cars with upgraded or factory turbos exposed to sustained heat
• Owners aiming to protect critical engine bay components for long-term reliability

Unlike universal turbo blankets, this model is specifically shaped for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3 turbocharger, ensuring precise fitment and maximum heat containment.

Key Benefits of the Funk Motorsport Evo 3 Turbo Blanket

• Helps reduce engine bay temperatures for improved reliability
• Supports consistent turbo performance by limiting heat soak
• Protects wiring, hoses, and plastics from heat damage
• Removable design allows for routine turbo maintenance—no need to cut or damage the blanket
• Available in three finishes: Titanium (classic durability), Carbon Fibre (lightweight, modern look), and Inside Out (for those seeking a distinctive appearance)
• Four-layer construction for enhanced thermal insulation compared to typical single- or dual-layer alternatives

Finish Options: Practical Differences

All finishes provide the same high level of thermal protection, but each offers unique advantages:

• Titanium: Favoured for its resilience and traditional motorsport appearance.
• Carbon Fibre: Lightweight and visually striking, ideal for show builds or those seeking a modern aesthetic.
• Inside Out: Exposes the insulating core for a technical look, popular with those who want to showcase the blanket’s construction.

Choose the finish that best matches your build priorities and visual preferences—performance remains consistent across all options.

Construction and Technical Details

The Funk Motorsport Evo 3 Turbo Blanket uses a proprietary four-layer construction, designed to offer significantly greater thermal insulation than most standard turbo blankets. While internal testing suggests up to three times the thermal protection of typical alternatives, actual results may vary depending on installation and use. The blanket’s removable design is a key feature, allowing for straightforward turbo maintenance without damaging the product—a rare advantage in this product category.

Installation and Usage Guidance

This turbo blanket is designed for direct fitment to the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3 turbocharger. For best results:

• Ensure the turbo and surrounding area are clean before installation
• Follow the supplied fitting instructions for secure placement
• Routine maintenance is simplified by the removable design
• Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with turbo heat management products
