Just had my Abarth 500 (2015) back from garage.
Boosted lovely for the first two months (Up to and beyond 1.2) I had it, and the last couple of weeks won't boost above 0.8 at all and bounces back. She drives ok, although significantly down on power.
The Abarth garage fitted a map sensor and electro valve today but it still hasn't rectified the problem, although the engine noise doesn't seem to be coming from under the bonnet and the whoosh between gearshifts has also gone.
No check engine lights or warnings. I am starting to get fed up now...
I kept asking whether it might be the recirculating valve as someone had said their brother had this problem and that is what it was.
Booked back in for the third time now next Thursday and they say it maybe a couple of days for them to sort it.
Anyone got any similar problems or placatory comments?
Much appreciated
 
Are you the second owner? try contacting the previous owner to see if this is a reoccurring issue?
If there are no air leaks on either side of the turbo, then its the control of it that's causing the issue? See if there are any independent Fiat specialists in your area?
Lets hope you didn't pay for the new parts that were clearly not faulty in the first place as the fault is still present?
Note the mileage when you take it in too.
