Why Customized Chip Tuning?

Factory software is left very conservative considering all types of fuel quality, harsh climate conditions, and emission standards. OnlineChipTuning shapes the file you read from your vehicle according to your requests (for example: "High performance for Abarth 595", "LPG optimization", "Giulietta turbo boost").

Advantages of our customized service:

  • Provides a more elastic power band by reducing turbo lag at low and mid RPMs.
  • Increases rev limiter (in Abarth models).
  • Reduces fuel consumption through more efficient combustion.
  • Perfects the harmony between automatic transmission and engine torque.
  • Minimizes power loss in LPG/Natural Power system.
  • Strengthens sporty character in Abarth models.
  • Provides premium driving experience in Alfa Romeo models.
  • Increases daily use comfort in FIAT models.

ME17.3.0 Stage 1 and Stage 2 Differences

Expert Advice: The ME17.3.0 is a common ECU used in FIAT Group's 1.4L engines between 2007-2021 and requires special attention. 1.4L T-Jet engines are resistant to high boost pressure (1.4+ bar) but excessive boost can cause piston damage. Abarth models are factory high-performance, so additional modifications (intercooler, exhaust) are recommended for Stage 2. In LPG/Natural Power system vehicles, both fuel modes must be optimized. 1.4L Fire engines are naturally aspirated so power increase is limited (+10-15 HP). In dual-clutch transmission models, excessive torque increase can lead to clutch problems. Abarth Biposto and Competizione models have the highest power potential. Premium character must be preserved in Alfa Romeo models. OnlineChipTuning offers safe performance in FIAT 1.4L engines with ME17.3.0 experience.
