General who owns a 500 0.9 twinair plus / turbo

speedyreidy · Dec 14, 2014

I have recently bought a 2012 fiat 500 0.9 twinair plus / turbo for my first car, I absolutely love it! I have noticed there aren't many of these around, especially black ones like mine, so I was just wondering who else owns a twinair plus / turbo? please post pics and details of your wee cars please?

Ours is the same as yours. Love it but it's making way for a new Panda Cross soon as we need additional practically & I think it looks brill.

Both the wife & I will miss the 500 a lot though

I've had my TA (non plus version) for nearly 3 years. Love it.
Mine is quite modded.
If you do a search ony posts you'll see a lot of pics.
Here's a list of bits I changed.

K&N air filter
Magneti Marelli exhaust
Abarth wheel centere caps
Abarth Koni FSD shocks with Eibach springs
Abarth steering wheel
Abarth 'Competizione' gear knob
Abarth pedals
195/50/15 Tyres (instead of 185/55/15)
White dash panel
Leather tailgate strap (dog lead mod)
That's it I think?

Your TA+ looks awesome in black by the way ; )

I've had my TA (non plus version) for nearly 1 1/2 years. Also LOVE it.
No major mods yet, just a Fiat forum sticker on the rear screen and a sunsport grill added.

Yes, it's got quite a growl. Not loud but sounds quite sporty compared to standard. The small muffler in the tail pipe us deleted on the MM rear pipe.
There's a clip on youtube somewhere.
I got mine from DotShop Italy. I think TMC also sell them.

mine is the plus, the 0.9 with the turbo so it has a nice wee growl to it already, does the standard twin have a turbo? yea tmc sell them and luckily enough the are near me so could possibly be my next modification?

Yes, the TA & TA+ are mechanically identical, it's just a trim level spec.

Not to be confused with the newer, and meaner, 105HP TA.

so the twinair and twinair plus are both 0.9 turbos? have always been curious about the difference

Mechanically identical, same power output.

The difference with TA+
Climate control instead of air con.
Leather multi function steering wheel.
16" wheels instead of 15"
I think that's about it.

Here's the polished one on my black Lounge. Looks even better when the car's clean.

I got my dash carbon fibre wrapped so it's no longer silver but I think it looks 10 times better now, looks like it was meant to be that way?

Very cool! Looks amazing. I changed my dash for a white one to match the exterior. My Abarth Scorpione gear knob would look great with your carbon dash
