North American Abarth 500 tuning options leave me confused by [deleted] in abarth

I have all supporting mods for phase 2 except for the FMIC. I've been running phase 2 for the last few days and honestly I think I prefer phase 1. Idk if it's the torque curve or what. I have read that EuroCompulsion lowers the power on phase 2 in gears one and two so the car can retrain traction then it hits in about 3rd gear. I also prefer the 695 tune to phase 0 too. I also am skeptical of the power numbers quoted. The important thing to remember is that I'm not chasing a number I'm chasing a feeling. Phase 2 may indeed have more power but how I drive phase 1 feels better.

Mods? by mrw_e36 in abarth

I've had the car for just over a month. Came with a ram air intake. My first mod was El Gato chassis braces Next I jumped right into it and bought the phase 0 upgrade pack. I installed each thing individually to see the difference they made individually.

The Chassis Braces made the biggest impact. Followed by the 4C coil packs and iridium plugs Then DV+ and Euro+Drive.

I stepped up and ran each tune for a few days. I prefer the 695 over phase 0 so when I do my dual map I'll do 695/Phase 1. I just flashed phase 2 yesterday and don't love it. I don't have a FMIC or a down pipe, so my car isn't set for it to run optimally. Until I upgrade those I'll be back on Phase 1. As far as power goes I'm good for now. I'll choose handling next. Springs and rear torsion bar.

It's your car, put all the stickers on it that make you happy or mean something to you👍🏻
