Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket for Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 5

How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Improves Your Evo 5

The Funk Motorsport Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 5 Turbo Blanket is engineered to deliver advanced heat management for your turbocharged setup. Designed specifically for the Evo 5 platform, this turbo blanket helps contain extreme turbine housing temperatures, reducing heat soak in the engine bay and supporting consistent turbo performance. By minimising radiant heat, it helps protect nearby components and wiring, while also improving overall reliability during demanding road, track, or off-road use.
