Technical Grande Punto Turbo Gone

It all makes interesting reading but its not putting me off getting a remap.

hi jamie :wave:

this is jamie off stilosport isnt it?

You might be out of luck if you say you've just MOT your car, is it out of warrenty now? so that means would be a will of good jesture from the garage/fiat - if they detect the map your chances aren't good? Let us know how you get on, fingers crossed for ya

Yes its me from SS...Hello Rob:wave:

No mate, my MOT isnt due for another 6 months(y)
 
if its under warranty, don't mention the map. i killed my turbo but was replaced under warranty... try not to do burn outs - that's asking for trouble.
 
did u have a 0-60 time of 5.8 - 6.0 seconds then? if so im getting mine remapped asap. i didnt think it would be as low as that

Video On YouTube .. One Before Re-Map .. One After, Video Lasts About 4Minutes Because For Some Reason I Couldn't Get It Off The Clocks =S Most I Had Is 143 I Think .. The One I Edited Down To 6 Seconds Is Messed Up =S All Blurry ..

.. I Set Off Around 2.6/7 Reach 60 About 8.5/6 On The Video, I'm Pretty Sure Anyway, Take A Look .. 100 In About 16 Seconds.

Huh ?!?! Lol .. Oh Well, 'cause I Care Soooo Much, Only Joking !! :eek:

.. Devostation If They Find Out 'cause Of This Forum :(

Thanks Mate .. For The Crossed Fingers (y) Lol, Apparently It Could Well Be A Faulty Turbo So I Could Be In Luck, But There Again, Like You Said .. IF They Detect The Map Then My Chances Aren't Good :( Yet They Could Turn Round And Say Like A Few People Have Said "The Re-Map Just Resulted In Failure Quicker" .. Realllllllyyyy Doubt It Tho :bang:
 
When my turbo blew, it took the engine block with it; several peicies of the turbo went down the air intake and damaged the engine internals.

Took it back to fiat who discovered the map and my warranty was voided on the spot.

£3K of damage and not covered!!
 
:p Kids + c0ck style driving = fecked car... simple.

I really dont get this bullshine TBH. Someone thrapes the living **** out of their car then moans when it breaks... FFS....:mad:

Yes I am angry, I dont really know why... nor do I know why anyone
Would Put Capitals At The Start Of Every Word... :rolleyes:

To the OP your Bhp output isnt high, nor is your torque, you either got a dodgy turbo from the Iffy batch or you killed it with ignorance / stupidity.

I feel better now... *waits for the multi-CAP flaming.... :p

Right on Ffoxy.....

Like has been said so many times the most hazardous part of a remap to a car's mechanics is the bit that connects the steering wheel to the pedals! :rolleyes:

Makes me laugh when certain folk say "I drove it steady"... My arse....

Oh yeah 143 mph steady!!! 0-60 sub 6 second steady....

You reap what you sow....
 
thats me put off for another few weeks too haha

but I dont think Id be doing what was shown in the vid very often

I noticed you have your fog lights on too..... chav :p

Loling my ass off. It is true thou.
I cant say im innocent either, ive been thru an engine mount and a clutch, but hey, I know the map aint meant to be there and i could have it removed at anytime. But i like it and im willing to take the risk that it does put more strain on the car (obviously it does). For me, if the car goes wrong and its likely the map was a factor then ive only got myself to blame.

As foxy has proved, you can run a car heavily remapped with no problems if you dont kick its **** in.

At the end of the day it is a Fiat and if you tuned it that much and then treat it like its a stock car, obv its going to break.


If you keep kicking your dog its going to bite you.! Whether its been remapped or not! lol.
 
Im curious as to where you did that vid, where can you do 0 - 140 and hold it for so long.

must have been on a runway yeahhh ;)
