Heavy-Duty Turbocharger Heat Shields for High-Performance Engines
Kool Wrap’s Titanium Basalt Turbo Blankets are engineered to deliver maximum heat containment and thermal efficiency for turbocharged engines. Made with a high-grade Titanium Basalt fibre outer layer, these turbo blankets are built to handle extreme operating conditions with continuous heat exposure exceeding 1,000°C. Designed for serious performance applications, these turbo blankets significantly reduce radiant heat in the engine bay while improving turbocharger efficiency and safety.
These premium turbo blankets are ideal for modified street cars, track vehicles, diesel engines, and high-horsepower builds where heat control is essential.
What Is a Titanium Turbo Blanket?
A turbo blanket is a specially designed thermal shield that wraps tightly around the hot side of a turbocharger—particularly the turbine housing. This area can reach intense temperatures during operation, and without proper insulation, it can raise engine bay temperatures, affect intake air temperature, and damage nearby components.
Kool Wrap’s Titanium Basalt Turbo Blanket is constructed using:
- A Titanium Basalt woven outer layer for durability and heat resistance
- 12mm internal silica insulation for superior thermal containment
- Kevlar-reinforced external stitching to prevent seam failure under extreme heat
- A shape and fit designed for specific turbo models, including popular makes like Toyota Land Cruiser, VW, and Audi
The result is a turbo heat shield that delivers excellent performance under the harshest conditions without compromising safety or aesthetics.
Key Features and Advantages
Kool Wrap Titanium Turbo Blankets are engineered to meet the demands of performance vehicles, industrial engines, and turbo diesel applications. Key benefits include:
- Extreme Heat Resistance – Withstands continuous heat of over 1,000°C
- Thick Insulation Core – 12mm internal silica blanket maximises heat retention
- Enhanced Turbo Efficiency – Retains heat within the turbine for improved spool and reduced turbo lag
- Lower Engine Bay Temperatures – Protects nearby components and reduces heat soak
- Kevlar-Reinforced Stitching – High-strength seams keep the blanket intact under thermal cycling and vibration
- Direct Fit Options – Designed to suit specific turbochargers and housings
- Universal Compatibility – Suitable for petrol and diesel turbo applications across multiple industries
Whether used in a high-powered petrol engine or a hard-working turbo diesel, these turbo blankets are built for longevity and thermal performance.
Ideal Applications
Titanium Basalt Turbo Blankets are suitable for a wide range of engines and use cases:
- Performance cars with turbo upgrades
- Turbo diesel vehicles including Toyota Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol
- Motorsport and time attack builds
- Industrial turbocharged machinery
- Marine and off-road applications
- VW and Audi turbocharged models (K04 turbo models from 2006–2014)
This product is perfect for vehicles operating under sustained boost, in high-heat climates, or in applications where under-bonnet heat control is critical.
Why Use a Turbo Blanket?
Turbochargers can glow red-hot under boost conditions, generating immense radiant heat. This can:
- Overheat intake components
- Damage nearby hoses, wires, and sensors
- Reduce air density and engine power
- Create thermal stress in engine bays with limited airflow
Installing a high-quality turbo blanket provides a range of performance and reliability benefits, including:
- Faster turbo response and reduced spool time
- Reduced engine bay temperatures
- Extended life of nearby components
- Enhanced turbo performance during prolonged use
- Lower risk of heat-related damage or fire
Kool Wrap’s Titanium Basalt Turbo Blankets provide superior heat management without compromising accessibility or durability.
Performance-Driven Construction
Each Kool Wrap turbo blanket is crafted using advanced materials to meet the expectations of motorsport and industrial professionals. The Titanium Basalt outer layer resists abrasion, heat cycling, and environmental degradation. The internal silica insulation acts as a thermal buffer that traps heat inside the turbine housing, where it improves gas velocity and turbo response. The Kevlar thread stitching and reinforced seams ensure long-lasting performance under constant heat, vibration, and load.
These materials are not only effective but also lightweight and flexible enough to wrap tightly around standard and aftermarket turbo housings.
