Although it is perfectly possible for us to manage the electronics that govern the operation of aspirated gasoline engines, we have decided not to provide additional chip tuning units for this type of engine in order to maintain our high standards in terms of power increase, torque increase, general increase in performance and driving involvement.

You can tell it is turbocharged! You can clearly see it by the fact that with our chip tuning additional module, we got a maximum torque increase of 58Nm, and that's on a 4-cylinder 1500! But let's start from the beginning, which is how this fourth-series Leon, powered by one of the1500TSI power versions, drives.

This 7-Series performs very well, and the 6-cylinder 3000 is completely different from the one mounted on the earlier 184hp 3.0d 7-Series. The turbine is variable geometry on both versions, but the 231hp mounts a different turbocharger with variable geometry actuation by servo-motor, a more responsive and precise system than the pneumatic control

The little Alfa Romeo sports car, the Mito, is certainly a successful product, and the common-rail diesel engine version can be spotted easily on the road. Today, however, we will discuss two of the turbocharged petrol versions that are very different from one another in terms of displacement, power, and design...

First of all, we should thank Italian engineer Mario Ricco for having this excellent insight. It was this engineer that invented the common-rail system in Italy. It happened in the early 1990s, but to see the first cars with this modern injection system on the road, we had to wait until 1997, when the Alfa 156 1.9JTD and the Mercedes C-Class with the 220CDI were put on the market.
