Funk Motorsport Porsche 911 (997) Turbo & 997 GT2 Turbo Blanket – Porsche Turbo Heat Management

Turbo Heat Control for Porsche 997 Turbo & GT2 Owners

The Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for the Porsche 911 (997) Turbo and 997 GT2 (2004–2013), addressing the intense thermal demands of high-performance Porsche turbocharged engines. This upgrade is designed for owners who want to manage under-bonnet temperatures, support turbo efficiency, and protect vital engine bay components from heat soak—whether on the road, track, or during spirited driving.

How This Turbo Blanket Supports Your Porsche

This turbo blanket insulates the turbocharger's turbine housing, containing extreme heat generated during boost. By minimising radiant heat loss, it helps maintain turbocharger efficiency and reduces the risk of heat damage to surrounding wiring, hoses, and intake components. This is especially valuable in the tightly packaged engine bays of the 997 Turbo and GT2, where excessive heat can compromise reliability and performance.

Where This Upgrade Makes a Difference

Porsche 997 Turbo and GT2 models are known for their power and compact engine layouts, which can lead to elevated engine bay temperatures—especially during track days, spirited road use, or in hot climates. The Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket is ideal for:

• Track-day and motorsport builds requiring sustained turbo use
• Road cars seeking improved heat management and long-term reliability
• Owners with supporting modifications or upgraded cooling systems
• Drivers looking to protect sensitive engine bay components from heat exposure
