Just installed the same one, with the Elbow and breather pipe which recirculates boost back to the intake, I must say its noisier in person, Doesn't bother me that much unless on the motorway there is the constant sucking noise lol, I've tried fitted with the stock turbo Elbow, It reduces the sucking noise to about half, I am guessing the restriction in the pipe suppresses the noise more, I noticed better response in the lower rev band, And somewhat more linear acceleration to about 4.5k revs, Boost pressure is also increased Before was getting about 0.8 Now it peaks at 1.5 and rolls off to about 1.1 bar, With the stock Elbow fitted it reverts back to just over 0.8 Noticed also that the MPG Dropped, Could be running more richer than normal with the increased airflow and cooler Intake temps.
Absolutely love how your car looks. Wish that color had been available here in the United States, but damn Americans like their big pickup trucks and SUVs, so the poor 500 and family just never had a chance here. But I'm still happy with my red 2015 Abarth 500, even if it is completely stock.
Yes possibly but it would still have to get through the filter as well and at that point it would be just water vapor. No more than a hot humid day in tropical weather.
Had a induction kit on my fiat bravo tjet. It's a novelty at first but gets tedious after awhile the sucking noise is just to much I also think to much air escapes and loses power back to stock with with a BMC element seems to be the way to go can't hear bov but a much deeper sound and more toque from engine
As an added mod since those are metal pieces and not plastic (which can heat up and retain heat) is to scuff them up with sandpaper and hit then with 2 coats of DEI silicone spray. It's used for headers but also acts as a barrier to prevent metal pieces from heating up.
How did you find fitting the intake hose? The small bottom outlet just doesnt seem to line up well compared to stock. Did you have to move anything to get that on? Its to fit on a garrett turbo and stock box. Thank you
how you feel with the sound after 2 months? i want to install forge induction but i believe i will have everyday smile and headache!!! its my everyday car.
If your looking at the engine you’ll see a plastic scuttle board the houses the windshield wiper motor, etc… Installing the induction kit requires you to cut a hole there to suck cold air from outside the engine compartment.
