Hello, sorry to jump in with my first post being a request for help.
First of all thanks for all the useful information and guides and what not!
I love my car - best thing i have ever owned. It has done 72000 miles and I have had it for 5 years. I thought I would change the turbo to a vl36 (abarth) as per the various posts around on here and get some more power out of it. Then a remap and it would keep me going for another 5 years. I do not intend on changing it and am considering never selling it, but that is besides the point.
I have a vl36 new turbo on order that is being sourced from italy. I cannot find the turbo fitting kit to go with it! Fiat parts want £87 - well one lot did, another wanted £110 which confused the hell out of me.
Can I just confirm that the vl36 is a straight swap with a vl37 turbo? (pretty sure it is).
If so are all the gaskets the same? Or do i need the gaskets from an abarth turbo punto when i order tehm from fiat? I am so confused! Thanks for any help
Anyone know of anyone selling kits? I am up to 8 emails and 9 hours of searching now.
Thanks.
