Hey folks,

I'm just about to schedule my Abarth for some tuning (custom exhaust & remap) at Abarth dealer. The result should have to be around 190 hp...Now, what I want to know is if theres anything in the standard Abarth Gp that will suffer from that gain - any component I should take into consideration of changeing? Hows with the engine block and turbine (remains stock)?

Im leaving the work to be done by Abarth dealer himself (they're also a part of Ferrari-Maseratti network there), with a lot of testing, proving (leaving the car for 14 days) so I feel confident about the work quality - I'm even getting the warranty and everything will be homologated. However, I wouldn't like to cause too much stress to the car since I intend to keep it for some time. So, am I pushing it?

Any hints, advices?


Thny

iv gone for the cheaper, bigger intercooler option rather than forking out a fortune for a bigger turbo.

yeah, although they 'have been making it' for weeks now!! should have it next week......

Id heard that anything above 170 on the IHI turbo was considered 'risky'!

Im going for a 165 Remap and then hoping to add another 5 or so with the exhaust.  Also going to uprate the wastegate.

Left it here:



I think it's in safe hands

Unlike the Ferraris number plate

The standard abarth turbo is safe upto 180bhp. Going further than that and you are putting it at risk.
