Product Description
This turbo blanket should be fitted OVER the existing OEM heat shield
The Forge Motorsport FMTUBL9 has been designed for the Mercedes A45, GLA, CLA AMG stock turbo chargers. This turbo blanket is designed to isolate the radiant heat produced by the turbocharger by further insulating the OE heat shield, the Forge turbo blanket also incorporates further protection to the engines down pipe.
This design has been created to withstand the harshest of environments and proven to withstand temperatures up to 1370°C (2500°F) of radiant heat, which will assist in protecting and prolonging the life of engine components.
Design innovation keeps the heat of the exhaust gases contained within the hot side of the turbocharger, away from the cool side and the intake path which helps reduce turbo lag and air intake temperatures resulting in more power.
Simple to fit using existing OEM hardware.
Please note that a turbo blanket will lose its flexibility over the first few heat cycles as the material cures, so once fitted it should not be routinely removed as this can cause damage to the blanket.
- Stainless Steel Rivets
- Carbon fabric outer shell
- Calcium Magnesium Silicate Wool constructed Inner Core
- High temperature Silica fabric
Please ensure your engine bay is the same as the one pictured in the 1st image below before purchasing this product; otherwise if you have the engine bay with the fire extinguisher (bulkhead fitted) and associated lines, as highlighted in the 2nd image below, the turbo blanket will not fit

Easy to fit with the most difficult parts being disconnecting the O2 sensor and stretching the springs around the downpipe.
Took about 20 mins to install and looks the part. Lets see if it makes a difference to under-bonnet temps especially when trying to open the bonnet after a long run.

Do not use aggressive (acidic) car cleaning products, particularly traffic film remover solutions or shampoos to clean your intercooler, radiator, or oil cooler. The use of these products can damage Forge Motorsport cooling systems and invalidate your warranty. These are often found at car washes. A light, warm, soapy solution (free of harsh acidic cleaning compounds) should be used to clean you cooler and thoroughly rinsed away. We recommend that you should inspect your product on a regular basis for bent and/or crushed fins. Any bent fins should be carefully straightened to allow ambient air to pass through the core face. At the time of installing your Forge radiator, an approved coolant must be used and added to the coolant system. Be sure you never mix coolant and always use distilled water.
This warranty does not apply to any defect in the goods arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, use otherwise than as recommended by the supplier, failure to follow the supplier’s instructions, or any alteration or repair carried out without the supplier’s approval.
