Funk Motorsport Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7 Turbo Blanket – Model-Specific Turbo Heat Shield

Turbo Heat Management for Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7

The Funk Motorsport Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7 Turbo Blanket is engineered for owners seeking precise, model-specific heat management for their Evo 7 turbocharger. Designed to address the unique thermal demands of the Evo 7 platform, this turbo blanket helps protect sensitive engine bay components, supports consistent turbo performance, and enables straightforward maintenance access—making it a practical upgrade for both spirited road driving and track use.

How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket acts as a thermal barrier, wrapping the turbocharger to contain radiant heat at its source. By reducing heat transfer from the turbo housing, it helps lower under-bonnet temperatures, protecting wiring, hoses, and intake components from heat soak. This containment supports more stable intake air temperatures and helps maintain turbo efficiency, especially during sustained boost or high-load scenarios.

Why Evo 7 Owners Choose This Turbo Blanket

Turbocharged engines generate significant heat, which can degrade nearby components and reduce reliability. Evo 7 owners—especially those running higher boost levels, track days, or performance builds—often face issues with heat soak, brittle wiring, and premature wear of plastics and hoses. The Funk Motorsport Evo 7 Turbo Blanket is designed for drivers who:

• Want to protect engine bay components from turbo heat exposure
• Seek to reduce the risk of heat soak affecting performance
• Need a removable solution for easy turbo maintenance
• Value a tailored fit for the Evo 7 turbocharger
