Welcome to the forum. If you have questions about your ride, post them in the appropriate area, please. You're more likely to get answers that way. I can't answer any of your questions as I'm not a mechanic and haven't owned a turbo in over 40 years.

 

My apologies, I didn't see a performance section for the 2024s.

 

I suppose you can delete this my friend. I'll reposted it in , hopefully, the correct place

 

I'm not a moderator, Newbie. I just mentioned it because a lot of folks (for some reason) won't respond to anyone posting questions in the newbie introductions. I don't know if there's performance parts on the market for 2024 models or not. I got all of that out of my system as a young man running Mopars.

 

Hello Y'all, I'm new to the Kia scene in general. I just picked up a 2024 forte gt 6spd for 22k /w 16,787 miles. I've noticed on most start ups the engine idles high (normal) but when is goes to settle back down there's a noticeable "bump" from the engine then it the rpms drop from roughly 1500 to 900. Is that a normal thing? the bump or vibration I mean.
What are y'all doing to reduce road noise?
Also, I was reading some threads about blow off valves and did some video watching for bypass valves... I've had my intake tube blow off a few times and it is quite annoying. I have it tight as I can by hand currently and no issues yet. I use to work for Honda as a tech for a year and the SI's seems to be made for driving but the Forte GT .... it's SUPER nice but doesn't seem to be made for a track the turbo lag is quite noticeable.. any tips on minimizing that?

You bought your ‘24 GT pre-owned, correct? Was is modified in anyway?

The intake tube shouldn’t be coming off and should be securely attached to the factory specifications.

I combed over this vehicle quite well, except the under carriage. Nothing modified, I found if I accelerated hard and suddenly let off the pedal I assume the back pressure was too much and popped the tube off. BUT i now have it as tight as I can get it (by hand), no issue so far. Interesting thing.. only 16,860 miles and I noticed an oil pan leak, needs minimum 1 rear wheel bearing and a sloppy (stumbles shifting into3rd) 3rd gear. Lol the soon to be tech is either gonna love me or hate my ass, depending how slow it is at the dealer.
