Description

BMW E9x/E8x N54 (07-11) Mishimoto titanium turbo blanket

The Mishimoto turbo blanket N54 insulates the hot side of the stock turbo of the 2007 to 2011 BMW N54, as found in the 135i, 335i and 535i. A turbo produces a huge amount of heat. That heat raises engine bay and intake air temperatures and robs the engine of power.

By keeping the heat at the turbo, the engine bay stays cooler and exhaust gases stay hot, which makes the turbo more efficient and helps it spool faster. The outer layer of volcanic lava rock and titanium fabric withstands over 960 °C, the inner layer of silica fibre and stainless mesh over 1,260 °C.

Installation and delivery

The turbo blanket wraps around the hot side of the turbo and is secured with the included stainless wire or springs. Mishimoto rates the installation as medium. Always wear gloves, as the material contains loose glass fibres. Make sure blanket and fasteners do not touch moving parts, and keep it free of fuel and oil. Some smoke during the first heat cycles is normal. The blanket is not designed for repeated removal, as the material becomes rigid after heating. Lead time: 4 to 7 days.

Keep the heat where it belongs: at the turbo, not in your engine bay.

Why choose this Mishimoto turbo blanket N54?

On an N54 that works hard on track or while drifting, engine bay temperatures climb quickly. This titanium turbo blanket keeps the heat at the turbo, protects surrounding parts and helps the turbo stay efficient. It fits the stock turbo directly and is covered by Mishimoto’s lifetime warranty.

Frequently asked questions

Is it normal for the blanket to smoke?

Yes. According to Mishimoto, some smoke during the first heat cycles is normal. It disappears after a few heat cycles.

Does the Mishimoto turbo blanket N54 fit a larger turbo?

No. It is made for the stock N54 turbo.

Can I remove the blanket later?

You can, but it is not designed for repeated removal and reinstallation; the material becomes rigid and brittle after heating.

What is the lead time?

The lead time is 4 to 7 days.
