Finally got to have a decent drive of the Wife's 500 Abarth over the last week as my Subaru is off being fixed (diff problems). Anyway, after a bit of playing it makes full boost (0.9bar) at 2200rpm.

The turbo is an IHI RHF3 VL38, that fiat will remap to 160bhp (1400cc). I can't find any specific info, the IHI stuf available says the RHF3 is for upto 135bhp.

Whatever the spec is, it'd make a great turbo for a 150bhp road car, a modern T2 if you like. I suspect it may be fitted to puntos, which may be more available.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol
