I suspect this has been asked and answered, but I can't find it, so here we go.
1. Is the UK spec (and I assume therefore, all Europeans) engine, intake, turbo identical on the 124 and Abarth models such that the difference is only in the ECU?
2. Similarly, is the US spec 124 mechanically identical to the European model differing only in change of tuning parameters?
Although performance of the stock car is strong enough in real road use, it is a little annoying if, as I suspect, it's effectively detuned for marketing reasons. I'm toying with a remap, but obviously the worry is warranty, as although the original map can be restored, I'm led to believe it leaves a time/date stamp providing Fiat with evidence of monkeying about.
