It's not hard to squeal the tires. I'm helping a mechanic diagnose a Fiat Doblo. It has a 1.4 jtd engine, about 80hp. When I first drove the car it wouldn't go more than 30kph in 1st gear. After an italian tune it can go to 100kph. I checked it with my g-tech pro and it has about 50hp at the wheels as it is. I can squeal the tires in first and second. It's not really squealing but just chirping.
