Am I the only one thinking that if it was so easy to improve power and/or torque without negative consequences on reliability and life of the engine Fiat (or other manufacturer) would do so?

Well said; My 2006 Ducato 2.8JTD is the 144bhp version only available in LHD; the British RHD engines, up to 2006, were all 127ps.

Fiat (Iveco) achieved the performance gain by fitting a different turbo and ECU plus a larger intercooler.

The 2.8 JTD (2798 cc) made by Iveco (Sofim) was used in second generation Fiat Ducato, it produces 127 PS (93 kW) or 146 PS (107 kW; 144 hp).

It would be cheaper and quicker to just re-map the ECU but Fiat (and Iveco) with their huge investement in automotive R & D and diesel engine technology, chose not to go down that route and came up with modifications that would not effect, in their view, the longevity and reliability of the engine.

If you simply plug a 'box' into the ECU without uprating the turbo and fitting a larger intercooler you may be shortening the life of the engine or it's key components.
