new here, still deciding on whether to buy a Koup, but saw this and thought it might be of interest, it's the 2012 version though...

2012 Kia Forte Koup to get turbocharged 4-cylinder - egmCarTech
The 2010 Kia Forte Koup is currently offered in two different trim-levels including the EX and SX. The Forte Koup EX is powered by a 156-hp 2.0L 4-cylinder, while the SX is powered by a 173-hp 2.4L 4-cylinder. Now what if you added a turbocharger to either- you’d have a really fun Korean Koup or coupe, or whatever you want to call it.
According to Tom Loveless, vice president of sales for Kia Motors America, a turbocharged engine may find its way under the hood of the 2012 Kia Forte Koup.
