Funk Motorsport Toyota Celica ST185 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Management

Turbo Blanket Upgrade for Toyota Celica ST185 Owners

The Funk Motorsport Toyota Celica ST185 Turbo Blanket is purpose-built for enthusiasts seeking advanced heat management for their turbocharged Celica. Designed to fit the ST185 factory turbocharger, this blanket helps address the real-world challenge of excessive engine bay heat, supporting improved reliability and consistent performance for road, track, or rally builds.

How the Turbo Blanket Improves Your Celica ST185

This turbo blanket wraps securely around the turbocharger’s turbine housing, acting as a thermal barrier. By containing radiant heat, it helps reduce under-bonnet temperatures, protecting wiring, hoses, and intake components from heat exposure. This containment can also support faster turbo spool and more stable intake temperatures, especially under demanding driving conditions.

Where This Turbo Blanket Makes a Difference

The Celica ST185’s turbocharged setup is known for generating significant heat, which can lead to heat soak, reduced component lifespan, and inconsistent power delivery. This turbo blanket is ideal for:

• Track and motorsport builds where thermal management is critical
• Road cars seeking extra protection for engine bay components
• Rally and off-road vehicles exposed to sustained high temperatures
• Owners aiming to maintain turbo efficiency during spirited driving

By reducing heat soak, the blanket helps maintain a cooler intake charge and supports the longevity of surrounding components.
