You forgot to emntion that the cam is different, the conrods are not up to it, the crank is different and the block is internally different. And the Abarth 500 has got 2 intercoolers.
Fiat would not risk it.

alternatively:
Tuned 1.4 nasp - £120 bhp, arguably a better trackday tool :yum:
Cam and pulley £300
Tubular manifold, sport cat and exhaust £600
Induction kit £225
Remap £300
Springs £200

Well, I didn't exactly forget to mention it (which is a kind way of putting it) - I chose to ignore those aspects because I either didn't know or was unsure about them. But I am sure that you are correct.

I would trust your gut feeling. I have not seen any unreasonable post7comment sen from you.

I'm sorry I mentioned anything now. I was taken a back by what the saleman told me, but in this crazy world I wouldn't be supprise if Fiat did bring out some form of performance kit. He did say it was a Turbo Pack though. As we have all seen at times people get their info wrong. So for now, like you all I'm gonna assume he got his info mixed up.
I hope he didn't though. BTW, The dealer in question is in Lincoln.

if you don't already have a car and want lots of power the Abarth is undoubtedly the way to go
you do not need the esseesse kit, just a remap to take the car from 135 to 160 bhp
160 bhp for £14k in a sorted chassis - bargain
No need to be sorry. The salesman should be. He gave you some info that he did not research very well.
Ok, ok, I'll stop hassling you about forced induction on my 1.4
you can hassle me about a supercharger
944 a bit long in the tooth now but 968's are good track tools - esp the Cup version
but no way near as cool as a trackday Fiat 500

I asked about turbo charging my 1.4 sport and they said i couldn't for about 3,000 but fiat wouldn't be doing it, that's why i've ordered the Abarth
Only certain dealerships are doing them he just wanted money by the sounds of it, i've had to drive hour to order mine from somewhere but worth it

I was going to ask the sales people about this last night but totaly forgot, but most of the questiones i was asking them they didnt really know
I really dont think they will release a kit for it tho thats what the abarth is for

Funny how the salesman knows about a mythical turbo kit (and thats all it will ever be) but on another thread they didnt even know about the 500C.
