Alpha Competition Mercedes-Benz A Class W176 A45 W117 CLA45 AMG Turbo Blanket
159.99€
The Alpha Competition Mercedes-Benz A Class W176 A45 and W117 CLA45 AMG Turbo Blanket is a high-performance accessory designed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the turbocharged engines in these AMG models. This turbo blanket is crafted to provide superior thermal insulation for the turbocharger, significantly reducing the amount of heat radiated from the turbo unit to the surrounding engine components.
Constructed from advanced heat-resistant materials, the turbo blanket is designed to withstand extreme temperatures typically generated by high-performance turbochargers. It effectively traps heat within the turbocharger, which improves the turbo’s efficiency by maintaining higher temperatures inside the turbo and lowering the engine bay temperatures. This can lead to faster spool times, more consistent boost pressures, and reduced heat soak into the intercooler and intake systems.
The Alpha Competition turbo blanket is tailored specifically for the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG (W176) and CLA45 AMG (W117) models, ensuring a precise fit that maximizes its insulating capabilities. Installation is straightforward, designed to wrap securely around the turbocharger housing with the necessary fasteners included for a tight fit.
By reducing under-hood temperatures, this turbo blanket not only enhances performance but also protects other engine components from excessive heat, potentially extending their lifespan and reliability. It is an essential upgrade for enthusiasts who push their AMG vehicles to the limit, whether on the street or the track.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.
- Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content. Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
- Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
- Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
- Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
