Hi all, looking to get a T Jet Sporting as my first car after 5 years riding motorcycles! Insurance is still crazy even in my mid 20s although surprising the Fiat is quite good along with the Mito

Anyway does anyone know which Abarth parts fit straight on to the T Jet? I'm talking things like intakes and stuff.

Thanks for any help!
 
Cold air intake is the first thing I can think of. I was going to do the turbo swap but I'm not going to bother, just intake and remap I think. Anything else worth doing?
 
If you want more power the turbo really is the place to start. The original vl37 is tiny and runs out of puff at high engine speeds.
 
What kind of power are you looking at with a remap on the standard turbo and abarth intake? I'd be happy with 150ish simply because no doubt I will want something else once insurance drops a bit so I don't want to spend too much
 
I think 150 is tops, 140 might be more realistic. It'll be a bit lower down the rev range and might feel a bit weak when you wring it out towards the red line.
 
No point changing the air intake.... I think its pretty much the same box on the Abarth and the T-Jet, the SS has a different intake route I think thats about it. Possibly a panel filter or a induction kit (if thats your thing)

140-145 max really on the standard turbo, getting hold of a 2nd hand Abarth one is quite difficult now though! (350 Abarth GP Made, only the ones that changed to SS replaced the turbo). You could get a A500 turbo, but these are not quite so good as the AGP ones.

Obv with any power mods, I would expect your insurance cost to go up a little anyway

Older T-Jet on a here a while ago was running "180bhp" with some mods, me and him had a friendly straight line race, I pulled away in my 155bhp Abarth, so all those mods he did didnt really make too much of a difference....

Official 0-62 of the standard GPA is 8.2 seconds, vs 8.9 for the 120 Bhp T-Jet, honestly 0.7 seconds for all that work......, leave it standard for a few months at least, then remap when you get really bored to 140 bhp ish and then see if you fancy another car after that....
 
You are probably right, I'll leave it be. Just stick some abarth style wheels on it and the eibach kit!

There's probably more AGP bits than you think left around. I have all the standard AGP bits still in the garage (somewhere) if anyone is genuinely looking for them - the EsseEsse kit was fitted new to mine, so they have delivery mileage & nearly 5 years sat doing nothing! I could never be bothered with all the "wot will you take mate" nonsense at the time - can't actually remember what's there, but there are springs, discs, turbo, etc I think - there was quite a bit of stuff iirc.
