Remapping a 1.4 Fiat 500...

[wrighty78]

Afternoon all

Just wondered if there's any real improvements to be had by remapping the little Fiat. It zips along merrily if you wind it up a bit, but it would be nice to have a little more enthusiasm at lower revs.

I realise I'm not going to see much of an improvement from a 1.4 n/a petrol engine, but I have noticed that the torque curve stats for the Panda 100hp seem different from the same-engined 500.

So - any ideas? And any thoughts on where to go?

(And yes, I know I should have bought an Abarth )

I don't know about the mapping, but a proper induction kit would probably make it a bit more eager and have better throttle response.
