Fits: the 1.6T Gamma engine: Hyundai Elantra GT Sport, Elantra Sport, Elantra N Line, Veloster Turbo 1 (VT1) and Kia Forte Turbo 1st generation.
This is a custom-order part, built to order with a 2-3 week lead time.
What this is
A hybrid turbocharger upgrade for the Hyundai and Kia 1.6T Gamma engine. The OEM K03-style housing is rebuilt with larger K04-style internals, a "stuffed" turbo with a mechanical, spring-actuated wastegate.
Built by a turbo specialist we work with, then machined, balanced and assembled in Canada. It needs a supporting ECU tune, an FMIC and supporting mods to make its power, around 300 whp, and is not a stand-alone part.
Why / Design
Inside is an upgraded billet compressor wheel with an inlet over 51 mm, the largest that fits the cold side, plus upgraded bearings.
The larger turbine wheel flows more, so the turbo holds higher boost higher in the rev range, letting the engine run more psi.
It mounts in the OEM turbo location and holds boost on a tune. With that tune, supporting mods and the right fuel, such as an ethanol blend or water/methanol injection, it is capable of around 300 whp.
What owners report
One owner reports the car felt strong even before tuning; that is a user claim, and the turbo makes its power on a tune.
