Hello to everyone! I would like to say some things to all t-jet guys thinking of doing this swap.First of all the price we did the swap (vl 36) was very low (using a new turbo,not used---approx. 700 pounds with the remap which was neccesary) and thought it was a very good value for money. Well the numbers we saw were less than we expected ( 170 hp @crank) and this is because we dont have the same cams with the Abarth.The car comparing it to my T-Jet (remapped,catback) rolling side by side with 2nd gear from 3.000 rpm was slightly ahead till mid 3rd gear and ALL the difference was in 4th gear.My friends T-jet just dissapeared there ( 5 car lenghts till 190 kmh). All i can say now is that the car is side by side with a Corsa OPC (192ps) till 200 kmh. Impressive,huh?

This is a video with a street race of this T-Jet. It is in the right lane and in the left lane is an Astra GTC 1,6 turbo (185 ps this one,1245 kilos) .I'm behind them! (T-Jet 150 ps).All of us starting side by side rolling from a 2nd gear! Under the bridge that ends the video we are doing approx. 115 miles.

Enjoy!
