Funk Motorsport VW Polo GTI MK6 Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Management Upgrade

Turbo Heat Management for the VW Polo GTI MK6

The Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket is engineered specifically for the VW Polo GTI MK6 equipped with IHI IS20 or IS38 turbochargers. This advanced heat management solution is designed to help Polo GTI owners control under-bonnet temperatures, protect sensitive components, and support consistent turbo performance in both daily and spirited driving scenarios.

How the Funk Motorsport Turbo Blanket Works

Turbochargers generate intense heat during operation, which can radiate into the engine bay and affect nearby wiring, hoses, and intake components. The Funk Motorsport turbo blanket insulates the turbine housing, helping to contain heat within the turbo and reduce the risk of heat soak. By minimising radiant heat transfer, this blanket supports lower intake air temperatures, improved reliability, and a safer engine bay environment.

This product is ideal for VW Polo GTI MK6 owners who:

• Drive their vehicles enthusiastically on the road or track

Whether your Polo GTI is a daily driver, a weekend track car, or a project build, this turbo blanket is a practical upgrade for anyone aiming to maintain reliability and performance under demanding conditions.
