" 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.

This is what I was inspired with the Jimny

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.
