Bluespark Automotive has developed tuning solutions for a wide range of Abarth turbo petrol applications, with particular experience across the 1.4 T-Jet and MultiAir engine families. Different Abarth models can use different turbochargers, factory power outputs and engine configurations, so the most effective tuning approach depends on the specific vehicle. Our products are developed around these differences to deliver stronger, more usable performance.
The 1.4 T-Jet engine is used across many popular Abarth models and offers strong tuning potential. Our tuning solutions are designed to improve power delivery, mid-range torque and throttle response, helping the engine feel stronger and more responsive during everyday road use.
Different Abarth 500, 595 and 695 variants can be fitted with different turbocharger setups, including IHI and Garrett applications. These configurations have their own performance characteristics and tuning potential, so the correct tuning solution needs to be matched carefully to the specific model, engine and factory specification.
Selected Abarth applications use Fiat’s MultiAir engine technology, including versions of the Abarth 124 Spider. These engines require a tuning solution suited to their specific management and performance characteristics, with a focus on improving power, torque and response while maintaining smooth everyday drivability.
Abarth models have been produced in a wide range of factory power outputs, even where the underlying engine platform is similar. Variants such as the 595 and 695 can therefore respond differently to tuning depending on their original specification, turbocharger and supporting hardware. Matching the tuning box to the correct vehicle specification is essential for achieving the right balance of performance and drivability.
Our approach focuses on improvements that can be felt on the road, not simply peak figures. Stronger mid-range pull, sharper acceleration and improved throttle response can make an Abarth feel more urgent and engaging while retaining the flexibility needed for normal daily driving.
We not only offer plug-in tuning options for Abarth, but can also offer custom ECU remapping if this is your preferred tuning method.

At Bluespark Automotive, our Abarth tuning solutions are developed to deliver measurable, usable improvements in power, torque and drivability. Rather than focusing only on headline figures, we look at how each vehicle performs across the rev range, with particular attention to stronger mid-range performance, sharper acceleration and improved response in real-world driving.
Dyno testing allows us to measure how an Abarth responds before and after tuning, helping to demonstrate the gains achieved with the correct setup. Where available, we use before-and-after power and torque figures alongside dyno graphs to show how performance has improved.

Abarth models can respond differently to tuning depending on their factory output, turbocharger and engine configuration. Showing real examples helps demonstrate the type of improvement that can be achieved across different applications.
What improved: Sharper acceleration, smoother power delivery and a more responsive feel through the rev range.
Now delivering a much punchier 200hp with 300Nm of torque, bringing those gains in sooner from the lower revs while really opening up the midsection, giving improvements across the full rev range.
View Abarth 595 Turismo BlogWhat improved: All areas of the rev range have been increased, right down from the lower revs, right up until peak.
Now delivering 172hp with an additional 94Nm of torque, we have not only lifted those peak figures, but we really delve into where those gains are applied. Now pulling much harder right through the revs, we’ve significantly reduced turbo lag whilst providing much improved consistency across the entire rev range, really transforming how it now feels out on the road.
View Abarth 595 BlogWhat improved: We have to be extremely careful with this model not to give too much of a boost increase too early in the rev range. The 3 channel box helps enormously to do this, giving us fine control of boost pressure increase based upon RPM right through the rev range.
With peak power of 217.5hp (220.5PS) and great gains throughout the rev range the character of this car is changed significantly. The final results are very close to those offered by many flash tunes, but with the advantage that our unit can be tracelessly removed by the user.
View Abarth 695 Rivale ProjectOur development process is focused on matching the tuning solution to the individual vehicle rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Differences in factory power output, turbocharger specification and engine management can all affect how an Abarth responds to tuning, which is why testing and vehicle-specific development are an important part of achieving consistent, usable results.

When upgrading your Abarth, two of the most common options are a tuning box and an ECU remap. Both can be used to improve performance, but they work in different ways and suit different types of drivers. The right choice depends on your vehicle, how you use it and whether you want a permanent or removable upgrade.
A tuning box is an external performance upgrade that connects to selected engine sensors using vehicle-specific connections. It adjusts key signals to help improve power, torque and response without permanently altering the original ECU software.
For many Abarth owners, this makes a tuning box an attractive option because it can be fitted relatively easily and removed if required. It can also be reprogrammed to suit other vehicles, meaning they can take the tune with them when they change cars.
An ECU remap changes the software calibration stored within the vehicle’s engine control unit. This allows multiple engine parameters to be adjusted directly and can provide a highly tailored tuning solution.
Because a remap modifies the ECU software itself, it is generally a more permanent form of tuning than an external tuning box.
Some Abarth owners want more than an increase in power and torque. ECU remapping allows software-level changes that cannot be achieved through an external tuning box, making it the more appropriate option for certain bespoke tuning requirements and modified vehicles.
Here we dyno test our linear and max tunes, applied to the sport and non-sport modes. Essentially, this will allow the customer to take full advantage of that sport mode, giving everyday drivability when sport mode is disengaged (at lower revs), and then maximum gains across the full rev range once it’s enabled.
An example of our Abarth ECU calibration and dyno development work, demonstrating the type of bespoke software-level tuning available through remapping..
A further example of our Abarth remap development, showing why ECU calibration can be the preferred route where more extensive software changes are required. This customer opted for some pop and bangs as part of the mapping, giving a much more aggressive feel to how to now drives.
For customers looking for software-specific features such as sport mode calibration, pops and bangs or other bespoke ECU changes, an ECU remap is the appropriate route. These features require changes within the ECU calibration itself and cannot be added through an external tuning box.
There is no single option that is best for every Abarth. A tuning box can be ideal if you want a removable, plug-and-play performance upgrade, while an ECU remap may suit drivers looking for a more permanent software-based solution.
The most suitable option depends on your Abarth model, engine, existing modifications and performance goals.
If you are unsure which route is right for your vehicle, our team can help you understand the available options and choose the most appropriate tuning solution.
