General 1.6 Turbo?

[Jamie]

Well i have had the gearbox done before but without the remap. You wont believe what you can get away with nowadays and i can be very persuasive. Fiat did try and pull the modified card out and i told them to stop being so stupid you can only invalidate the warranty if it can be proven to be causing the particular problem in the case of the box they cant.

ATM the car is running around 125 bhp actually, because i am loosing a wee bit of power possibly through the cat as i had a weld done on it as the front of the pipe came away.
My car did run 118bhp from standard though

i highly doubt it!

red dots rollers are inaccurate, dont believe me get it done somewhere else

No jamie there not. You cant say that as you didnt have a before run done on your car at the other set of rollers you used so there results are irrelivant as you dont know what power you were putting out as standard.

i ran 76 on the other rollers with all mods, and 76 on red dots rollers as standard.

Thats my point. For you to say Red dots RR is wrong you need to have a standard run on this other companys rollers in exactly the same conditions as your runs on red dots RR. No RR graphs should be taken as gospel anyway. It is easy enough to change the results to what ever the bloke sat at the computer wants.

Hello everyone cheers for reading this i currently have 1.6 stilo xbox edition 05 plate black. Personally i think it's one of the best lookin cars around i always get people looking at it asking what it is becuase i have debadged it. So i have decided to make a project for myself with the help of my dad brain box with cars. I have around £2,500 to spend been saving the cash , was going to buy new car but been thinking i would rather have a car that not many people have.

So then the main question can the 1.6 be turbo'd? or has anyone done it before? more importantly how much do you think it will cost? been reading around gettin information off people they say around 2k+.

Just wondering what you guys think, is it worth doing? or should i go buy an audi TT?

Cheers Dave

Rollers will always vary to a certain degree and with ECU's it can depend on how you drove on the day.

I know that mine ran highly over what it should have been over standard but after a remap the cars tend to level out so i would have got more BHP gain if it wasnt so high to start with if that makes sense.
