Hey Fiat Fans! Do you really think a GSR induction kit is beneficial and really worth it for a GP 1.4 8v? Somethings like 5hp increase and up to 15% torque increase against £170's worth of kit?
Tuning GSR Induction, is it really worth it?

well you know the gains so its up to you surely?
for me they seem healthy gains for the money

I know the 1.4 16v engine gains more from the induction, any idea how much the increase for the 1.4 8v would benefit on a scale of 1-10...is it true that it also improves mpg?
twinned with a proper custom re-map by someone who knows what there doing and it would, but just on its own your not going to notice too much difference
Well on the gsr webby it states that the car with map+induction goes from 88bhp to 99 bhp, so if you think its a reasonable gain
is my little 1.2 8v worth getting remapped?

Very small power gain for the money you have to spend...

No. Buy a bigger engine.
I'd say, get a decent full exhaust system on with either sports cat or de-cat and perhaps a panel filter, perhaps exhaust manifold, and then get it remapped.

Im planning on gettin a full powerflow custom exhaust system so the induction would be installed after that. I guess ill see if there is any difference after the exhaust is fitted.
Fingers crossed ill have my GP in 2 weeks exited!!

exited!!
had mine on about 7mths bhp isn't anything really noticable but definatly notice the difference in torque ,mpg is another matter every body drives different all as i can say is if your not going to get GSR leave it std,all the rest are waste of time and money
had K&N + tried after market panal filter and none came close to GSRIm planning on gettin a full powerflow custom exhaust system so the induction would be installed after that. I guess ill see if there is any difference after the exhaust is fitted.

Since you are in the Milands, go rather to Custom Chrome than a powerflow outlet.

LOL ok that would be the first major difference...why go to custom chrome rather than powerflow?

I have a 1.1 PSA engine, admittadly not completely relevant, but I gained some 33% Torque at 2k RPM by doing GSR + Remap. This is the difference between wheelspinning 3rd and not in the case of my car, and made it hugely more fun to drive as well as that adding 10mph+ to the top speed of the car in horsepower gains.
In both respects its a mod well worth while even on the smaller engines, in my opinion.
( OK OK... I stop being a GSR sales rep now, but I click new posts and every time theres something else about GSR hahaha )
