enodreven Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi, I am reasonable sure that it will effect your warranty but if you want to make doubly sure why not ring your dealer or Fiat themselves. However staying on the subject if you do opt for have one of these sorts of devices fitted you will also need to check with your insurance company Safeguard just wanted it to be fitted by a specialist, they also confirmed there would be no increase in premium ? Van-Aken recently had an offer on including fitting for £150 Hope that helps KJP - 2007-09-24 12:16 PM Hi I am a new member so unaware whether this subject has beem covered.

Clive Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I said this before I think! Please don,t believe that chipping an engine or fitting a smart box will make it cleaner, it won,t. Governments apply increasingly stringent emission requirements to vehicle manufacturers so as to reduce pollution. However the requirements for the MOT have to be much lower so that older vehicles in good condition will pass. Smart boxes change the air/fuel mapping allowing more fuel in per unit of air into the engine. This gives much better acceleration, turbo spin up times are reduced and more torque is provided. The driving experience will be improved, less gear changing etc. This chipping also increases the emissions of the engine close towards that required by the MOT. Its still legal but an engine thus chipped will no longer meet the higher standards set by government legislation when it was new. So its your choice but please don,t delude yourself into thinking its cleaner, its not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
