Beyond Redline Examines Turbocharger
Beyond Redline has taken apart the exhaust manifold and turbocharger assembly from the 2.0T Genesis Coupe. No surprises here, a typical log manifold with a rather small TD04-based Mitsubishi turbocharger. One interesting thing to note is the BPV is mounted right on the compressor housing, similar to what is done on the SRT-4 Neon. Disappointing [...]

AMS Tears into Fuel System
Again, the folks over at AMS Performance know their priorities, as the secret to good tuning is good fuel control. They took apart the fuel system, pulled out the fuel pump, and posted the results of some bench testing. The fuel pump looks easy to get to and provides nearly the same flow as a [...]

This time, they have the Genesis Coupe on a lift, and they examine the exhaust system in detail. The exhaust system is made out of 60mm (2 3/8″) piping, with a neckdown to 45mm (1 3/4″) near a [...]
