My other half is looking at buying a mint used car. Either a 500 or Mito.

To make things more interesting when I borrow it I was thinking of having it tuned up. At least 220bhp would be good. 250bhp ideal. What are the options open to me for either the Fiat 500 Abarth, or the Alfa Mito Cloverleaf? Any links to tuning packages welcome! Basically I want a reputable company which offers a drive in, drive out deal. Not just a chip change. Proper engine work etc.

Thanks!

You can get power up to 200bhp from the 1.4TB in the MiTo, these folk have done some work.

I just want to know what other options are out there. Especially for the Mito, which I cannot find that much on...

Realistically you won't be able to get 250hp from a 1.4. I have the Grande Punto T-Jet which is the same engine with a smaller turbo (I think!) I'm running arpund 180bhp with an uprated turbo (from the Abarth 500/Grande Punto)with a remap. The best way to get more power is to start with more. I'd say the something like the Guilietta Cloverleaf. about the 260 mark I think?

Anything further, I'd sign up and pop a question into the FiatForum.co.uk as they'll be able to answer any questions you may have.

Hope this helps
