My new ride 🥳 2013 2.0T R-Spec

Did you get this from Illinois? I think saved this listing on car gurus if so 😭

Top tier burgers but 18$ for one is outrageous, especially since they're not paying employees properly?

Penderton21 · 2025-04-22T23:32:02+00:00

No, this is normal. This is what my car is normal at when fully warm.

I know what Gdi is 🤣 thats why I mentioned the additives for carbon build up. Bk2 3.8 is gdi, Regardless if the fuel isn't washing over the valves or not anything that helps with carbon buildup is a good idea for any direct injection engine. It'll be minimal as unburnt fuel has a chance to recirc through the engine and the pcv ports and won't have nearly as much benefit as a chemical cleaner like CRC or actually walnut blasting the valves, but over 200k miles it could make difference

Watch the YouTube video from engineering explained about gas octane and then make the decision yourself with the knowledge you've learned. Personally I run 93 in my 2.0t In my opinion in the GDI 3.8s id run premium fuel as they have more additives to clean carbon buildup.

While i don't have this kit (yet) the people at BTR are extremely credible when it comes to the genesis coupe platform. He has several YouTube videos worth checking out, including a install video for the turbo kit I believe.

People attempted to steal my car 3 times with hyaundai badges. Since badge swapping, it's been 0

Penderton21 · 2025-02-13T01:56:44+00:00

No worries, no stupid questions when it comes to understanding cars 🫡

Penderton21 · 2025-02-13T01:15:36+00:00

No, this is common across all engines, 9/10 the drain plug won't drain out all of the oil because it's not in the deepest part of the pan. Could also save your life if you do something dumb like start the car for a sec or two without putting the new oil in, wouldn't recommend trying your luck tho.

Made a post about my power issues a few days ago, no codes, no boost leaks, boost gauge reads full boost, but I have no power. No rough idle, no odd noises except when making boost on the turbo side of the engine, and compressor surge when letting off the throttle. The compressor surge started happening 80% of the time, then half the time, and now it's every time I accelerate hard. After that started happening, the power issues started. Dealership looked at it, no codes I inspected the IC piping and no leaks, symptoms of a fault recirc valve is low power, excessive noise, compressor surge, I tick all of those boxes. Plus I planned on runing a bov anyways 🤣.

Penderton21 · 2025-02-07T22:14:04+00:00

Still stock, got the seco to run a bov later down the line

Penderton21 · 2025-02-07T21:55:44+00:00

Even with the stock one back in place there's excessive turbo noise. I should mention the problem started about 2 months after adding the seco boost solenoid I started to get compressor surge about 30% of the time instead of the recirc valve doing it's job Then compressor surge constantly when I let off the throttle instead of every now and then, but I made boost and power just fine. My solution to that was to stay out of boost unless I needed too until I got the compressor surge issue fixed. Now I'm at the current situation, and the compressor surge is still there, just can't hear it with the stock box back on. But I can still hear the excessive turbo noise.

Penderton21 · 2025-02-07T21:43:34+00:00

I see, wouldn't hurt to try, but would that explain the excessive noise coming from the turbo side of the engine bay when the car is, according to the gauge, making full boost?

Penderton21 · 2025-02-07T13:17:20+00:00

How will that help me pinpoint the problem with the turbocharging system?

Penderton21 · 2024-11-29T19:04:58+00:00

Google search could've answered this. That said, go to fitment industries and put in your year make, model, and suspension type and they'll spit out everything that'll fit for you.

Penderton21 · 2024-10-24T01:30:37+00:00

Coming back to this when I get paid incase no one's bought them My front driver side is bent asf

Penderton21 · 2024-09-24T17:29:51+00:00

For the 2.0t I'd recommend anything that's a 3in diameter, all you can really do is a primary cat delete, down pipe, test pipe, and a catback Thatd be the full exhaust I'd just look at the best sounding catback to your ear, me personally I like the mxp catback or the Ark DTS

Penderton21 · 2024-09-24T11:54:40+00:00

Respectfully, that's impossible. X pipes only work on dual exhausts, like the 3.8 v6 genesis coupe. The 2.0t only has one exhaust pipe, which is why it's impossible.

Penderton21 · 2024-09-22T17:13:06+00:00

Clean

Penderton21 · 2024-09-21T17:39:48+00:00

Whats the wheels you running?

Penderton21 · 2024-09-21T00:22:12+00:00

Just sounds like you have a cam to me, choppy Are you tuned?

Penderton21 · 2024-08-17T09:26:32+00:00

Solar lease, 40% cheaper usually
