GT1 was 136bhp least torque
GT2 was 133bhp mid torque
GT3 was 130bhp most torque
GT3 is the one to go for.

During its production run (1994 to 1999), three versions of the Punto GT were built.
- Series 1 GT's were built from 1994-1996 (L, M, &: N registration plates),
- Series 3 GT's were built from 1997-1999 (P, R, S, &: T registration plates),
- Series 2 GT's overlapped, being built from 1996-1997 (N &: P registration plates).
EXTERNAL DIFFERENCES
Externally there are only a few slight differences between them:-
- GT3's have anthracite wheels as standard rather than silver as on the GT1's.
- The side skirts are body coloured on the GT3 rather than black plastic as on the GT1.
- The side mirrors are also a slightly different design - the GT3 has a black surround while the GT1 has completely body coloured mirrors.
- Some GT3's also have tinted headlamps.
- The GT1 badge and side bumpstrips also differ from the GT3s.
- The colours differ between the GT1s and the GT2's and GT3's. For example, Xploit Yellow was only avaliable on GT1's, and Broom Yellow was only avaliable on GT2's and GT3's.
INTERNAL DIFFERENCES
Internally, there are more differences:-
- The interior trim is different between the GT1 and GT3, as are the seats and steering wheel.
- The interior plastics are a darker shade of grey in the GT3 than the GT1.
- The front door cards differ between the three models.
- The GT3 seats have the GT logo on them with blue inserts.
- The GT1s have no rear seat headrests.
- GT2's are a hybrid between the GT1 and GT3, having components from both. A few GT2's are notable in that they don't have any front door pockets or speakers.
MECHANICAL DIFFERENCES
There are several mechanical differences between the two:-
- Front brake pads and calipers are a different size. GT1's have the Bendix calipers and the GT3's calipers are made by Lucas (most commonly).
- Under the bonnet is another obvious difference - the GT1 has the engine idle control positioned above the rocker cover, while the GT3 has it on top of the manifold.
- The ABS units also differ between the three engines, the GT1 ABS module being larger.
ENGINE DIFFERENCES
- Here is an example of a GT1 engine bay
- GT2 engine bays were the same as either a GT1 bay or a GT3 bay
- Here is an example of a GT3 engine bay
 
POWER SPEC DIFFERENCES
GT1 - (1st series 1993-1995)
most powerful engine 136 HP at 5750 rpm.
GT2 - (2nd series 1995-1997)
revised engine, 133 HP at 5750 rpm,
GT3 - (3rd series 1997-1999)
130 HP at 5600 rpm, ECU maps updated to more severe emissions.

GT2 Interior
GT3 Interior and Exterior
ECU DIFFERENCES
If you look at the cover of the ECU you will see a sticker with a barcode on it. Below the Bosch writing is a ten digit part code that begins 0 XXX XXX yyy. Now the important bit here is the 'yyy'. The last three digits represent which era the GT is from;
0 XXX XXX 099 - GT1
0 XXX XXX 841 - GT2
0 XXX XXX 159 - GT3
AVAILABLE SEBS
GT1
Seb0
- GT1 running a recommended 1.2bar, you can run upto 1.35bar in short burts.
Use a bleed valve or other boost control device (NOT the original pierburg valve)
Direct airfilter (induction kit),
Free flowing exhaust (magnex, scorpion, peco, Janspeed, Powerflow etc)
Catalyst or no catalyst (Scorpion Decat pipe).
This will return in the region of 160-165hp on a standard car (~170hp @ 1.35bar).
7300rpm limiter and 3bar boost cuts.
Mapped for power.
GT2
Seb0
- GT2 running a recommended 1.2bar, you can run upto 1.35bar in short burts.
Use a bleed valve or other boost control device (NOT the original pierburg valve),
Free flowing exhaust (magnex, scorpion, peco, Janspeed, Powerflow etc)
Catalyst or no catalyst (Scorpion Decat pipe).
This will return in the region of 160-165hp on a standard car (~170hp @ 1.35bar).
7300rpm limiter and 3bar boost cuts.
Mapped for power.
GT3
Seb1
- GT3 running 1.2bar.
Use a bleed valve or other boost control device (NOT the original pierburg valve),
Direct airfilter (induction kit),
Free flowing exhaust (magnex, scorpion, peco, Janspeed, Powerflow etc)
Catalyst or no catalyst (Scorpion Decat pipe).
This will return in the region of 150hp on a standard car.
7300rpm limiter and 3bar boost cuts.
Mapped for power and economy.
Seb2
- GT3 running upto *1.35bar using a bleed valve or other boost control device (NOT the original pierburg valve)
Its recommended running either a larger intercooler (Pace front mount or other) whilst running such high boost.
Alternatively run 1.2bar constant or a high / low boost setup of 1.1bar / 1.35bar.
Direct airfilter (induction kit),
Free flowing exhaust (magnex, scorpion, peco, Janspeed, Powerflow etc)
NO CATALYST (Scorpion Decat pipe).
This will return in the region of 165hp on a standard car.
7300rpm limiter and 3bar boost cuts.
Mapped for power
