Grande Punto My Red Grande T-Jet (Daisy)

Introduction

I fell in love with it when i first saw it and knew it had to be mine.
Ive done a few small mods since owning it.
Xenon look headlight bulbs
Abarth mats
Yatour music changer
Chrome indicator bulbs in the headlights and side repeaters to get rid of the fried egg look
Forge motorsport induction kit
Powerflow backbox
De-wipered, de-badged

Im a big fan of keeping the car clean as well.
Future mods are coilovers and some different wheels.
Re-vinyl the A and B pillars as they are awful.
Vinyl the numberplate bit between the grills.

Anyhow, pictures from when i first got it, to now. (Nothings changed really :cool: )
Where are you getting it mapped mate? I assume it's a custom map, so how much are you paying as I've only found ones for around 400 local to me :p & well done on the turbo I was actually going to bid on it aswell but concluded there was no point of it lying around for months before i can get an intercooler on :D

Im going to tune4performance.
Its a map tweak but its still gonna cost me about 200 quid!

That seems like a good deal. I've heard good things about them, apparently they're fiat specialists and not too far from me either only Watford I believe, good luck with the results.
 
Right, so update time!
Had a great weekend with Reuuk

New intercooler!

And onto fitting the new turbo, which was a right ball ache but we managed to do it! Not for the faint hearted to attempt...
No turbo...

And finally on the car...

We had to swap studs over from the old turbo to the new one and had to mash the manifold heat shield as there was no other way to get it off...
Had to get a nut splitter on one of the cat bolts!
All joy!

Whats Reuuk doing???
