" A few people on this forum seem to think that a turbo equates uncontrollable power which is just naive. A fiat 500 abarth 595 is about 160-80BHP and you don’t see them in ditches. I will bring mine to a meet up"
The 595 Abarth is designed to handle the power, it's got a much lower C of G, also it's FWD and not a ladder frame chassis with RWD.
Of course you can improve the Jimny suspension by lowering etc but on a wet road our Gen 4 is marginal with the standard 100bhp hence my concerns about dumping 150bhp+ through the rear wheels.

I’m sure more power would make them more feisty. But you are never going to have 300ft lb of torque at 1500rpm. It will always be a fairly revvy little engine.
