Maybe the Veloster scene is more familiar with it. I only know of one person that claimed to have a stuffed forte GT and he turned out to be a fraud.. car was basically stock with just a few bolt on doodads.
Stuffed turbo! Forte GT
So I have a 21 forte gt. Has anyone installed the stuffed turbo from sxth. I have a ton of bolt ons except stuffed. I’ve been waiting to get a tune til I installed a stuff. So my question is this a weekend install or a shop install? I asked sxth if they do installs and they don’t. They’re only 4hrs away. So Ima do a dyno tune with them. Also if I do install a stuff can I drive safely temporarily on it? Sorry if there’s a thread about this I don’t have a clue how to work this. Lol

I May have to check them out. Hard finding anything about stuffed turbos for the gt. I wanna do it so bad. That’s a bummer idky people are like that. ! I haven’t seen much on anyone doing this other than sxth and n75. Unless I’m just looking wrong lol.Maybe the Veloster scene is more familiar with it.

90% of my purchases for my forte have been through N75. I have a lot of respect for a business that’s hands on familiar with all their products they sell... and they will install their products too .I May have to check them out.

I like n75. I’ve bought a few things from them. Bummed they never emailed me back about tune and mods. I’d just love some one “local” and sxth seems to be good. I don’t think I’ve see. Any issues with them.90% of my purchases for my forte have been through N75.

I think n75 is mainly focusing on the Elantra N and Veloster N at this point.I like n75. I’ve bought a few things from them. Bummed they never emailed me back about tune and mods. I’d just love some one “local” and sxth seems to be good. I don’t think I’ve see. Any issues with them.
Seems like everyone is. Forte gt no one seems to mess with anymore. It sucks!I think n75 is mainly focusing on the Elantra N and Veloster N at this point.
It’s mainly because it’s an old platform. But there are a lot of swap-ability between Hyundai and Kia that make it tons of fun.Seems like everyone is. Forte gt no one seems to mess with anymore. It sucks!
If your really serious about power. I would talk to N75 about a tune on the stock turbo. I think you might be surprised what they can do. Let's be honest, without a LSD it is hard to put down more than 250hp and 275ft/lb of torque. If your looking for 300+ I would save some money and upgrade to one of the N models from Hyundai.Seems like everyone is. Forte gt no one seems to mess with anymore. It sucks!
The majority of people on Dragy with a Forte GT who are in the 13's for the quarter and under 9 in the 1/8 are running a N75 tune.
It os unfortunately. Oo yes I’ve ordered a few Hyundai parts already hahaIt’s mainly because it’s an old platform. But there are a lot of swap-ability between Hyundai and Kia that make it tons of fun.
Ive sent them a email with no response. I’ve seen you can make around 250 with a tune but 300 with a stuffed turbo.If your really serious about power.

Here's something to think about - is over $3k worth it for just 50 hp?Ive sent them a email with no response. I’ve seen you can make around 250 with a tune but 300 with a stuffed turbo.
Turbo is 2k but I see what you’re saying. If you think about it’s not that bad.Here's something to think about - is over $3k worth it for just 50 hp?
I saw couple odd posts about N75 tunes recently. What are your plans for the car, no wrong answer here 
. Actual drag strip, street fun or just braging rights. Runs from a dig or from a roll?

Gotta add tuning and various fuel delivery upgrades to that, which is where my ballpark number came from. Doesn’t seem like a good deal to me at all, but perhaps that’s a perspective thingTurbo is 2k but I see what you’re saying. If you think about it’s not that bad.

What mods do you have? I pretty much did it all besides the stuffed turbo. The more I did, the more the car always seemed a little off, until I got a tune. Dct stage 1, and ecu stage 1 from sxth. Idle set at 750 rpm. Honestly the ecu tune should of been the first mod. The stock maps simply don't adjust well to any bolt ons. I believe you can run a stuffed turbo on stage 1 tune. It's just not gonna make more power until you're actually tuned for the stuffed turbo and necessary supporting mods
Just to do something different l. Maybe a few rando races. But my car is in the shop atm getting a new transmission. Only 21k miles on it. So no more turbo plans atm.Turbo is 2k but I see what you’re saying. If you think about it’s not that bad.
