Fitting a turbo .........some do's and dont,s

[lb4fun]

Well here goes , I have a theory lol. I have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata 2.0l turbo Gdi. I want to upgrade the turbo and manifold ,maybe injectors and plugs to colder, and upgrade the cold air ,maybe a bigger inter-cooler. I'm guessing a remap of the computer also. Any other ideas would be appreciated ?. As I am ambitious I then want to take the turbo/manifold and put that on my 2014 Elantra 2.0l gdi ,I'm hoping I can use a new 2.0l turbo head gasket to lower the compression ( if that is compatible). Then its colder plugs ,bigger injectors ,oil cooler ,intercooler and piping. And again a re-maping of the computer or an add on system . I will start with the Sonata and use the parts off it for the Elantra if it all works. Again ,any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated I hope this is not all a pipe dream lol

I understand what the turbo does, but, how does it affect mpg when yo are just cruising around, not standing on it?

Depends on how far you press on it lol. Normal cruising it will be better ,press hard and it will be worse lol, but a lot more fun

Any ideas on here about my swap ?.

All my experience is with petrol turbos and you are wanting to increase power in a GDI which to me seems to be diesel powered so there will be no need for "colder plugs" and possibly "lower compression" as a diesel is a compression ignition motor.

Nope, Gasoline direct injection = gdi lol Both my cars have a 2.0l Hyundai engine . I think they are part of the world engine group of engines. Theta 2 I suspect the exhaust manifolds are the same pattern and head gasket I hope is the same to lessen the compression (turbo gasket) to not blow the whole thing up hahaha..
