Dual calipers would give you more clamping force, but not more stopping torque. For that you want larger rotors. As long as you don’t overcome the friction between your tires and the road, more torque is what you want, generally there is more than enough pad/caliper that the clamping force isn’t overcome.

The blow off valve is in the intake in front of the turbo. It opens when the throttle closes so the boost pressure has somewhere to go. You are thinking of the waste gate. That opens to limit the pressure build by the turbo.

When I went for my pre-college visit at Texas A&M we had an Aspire as a rental while our car was in the body shop. With the a/c on it wouldn't go above 60. It boggles the mind to think that could be considered luxury by a certain generation of Soviets.

Am I doing this right?

Looks like it to me, good eye. I was hoping to find something about it, but Lambert's Imports seems to be out of business. Or doesn't believe in the Internet.

There are 2 active ads for 3 total fiats. Both mention the headlights!

Yeah it seems to be a thing now, I saw at least 3 different custom blocks.

Apparently it’s a custom block
