Fiat 500 Abarth Front Mounted Intercooler (Manual Transmission)

Great quality, fitment is perfect, quality materials. Performance is greatly improved, less turbo lag and more high end. so far its a great intercooler to upgrade the abarth 500

My car feels way more torque. Well the gas feels heavier/more aggressive;)

I have read reviews for nearly every fmic available for my 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth and then purchased the Corsa Forza fmic. Installation instructions were spot on. In fact it was way harder to remove the stock crap (1.5 hrs) than install the new CFP fmic (0.5 hrs). Parts arrived fast. New parts fit well! Honestly took a little manipulation to get things to fit perfect but to me that is to be expected... After initial test drive with little to no expectations it definitely felt more (seat of the pants) powerful. The second thing I noticed was that I was getting to the rev limit in first gear quicker. I didn't expect this and admittedly it took me a bit to learn to get in to second gear earlier. Quality product for a good price !!! In case anyone cares other mods I have are full k&n cai and a magneti marelli piggyback tuner with remote, and brisk spark plugs...

Ordered this as I wanted to keep my intake air temps in check and wanted something that fit without trimming the bumper. Other than the small amount of trimming needed on the radiator shroud (as per directions) this intercooler fits nicely. I painted mine black with radiator paint for a stealthier look since i'm in CA. Overall i'm very pleased and would recommend this to any Abarth Fiat / 500 Turbo owner.The problem with the factory dual side mount intercooler setup, other than the ridiculous amount of piping, is that no air goes across them in traffic, which allows the intake air temps to creep up (read: dangerous). By relocating the intercooler to the front of the car you not only get better cooling, less piping but also the radiator fan will draw air through it when you're in traffic.
