- Free HP mod! Quick tutorial on how-to adjust the wastegate actuator arm on a 1st gen Hyundai Genesis 2.0T. Very simple and free mod that can be done with basic hand tools. Overall the mod so far has been great. I hold higher boost longer now which really makes a difference when getting into the higher RPMs. Make sure you check out all of my other Genesis videos and don't forget to like and subscribe! As always, thanks for watching!

This actually helped give my 2012 some oomf! Before this, flooring it up the on ramp to the highway I'd be at about 60mph, on my first run after 1 full 360° turn I was able to get to 90 mph. Excited for the tune im getting next week! Did this to tide me over till then
the factory ecu is designed to have the boost taper off at higher end to prevent detention, engine damage. your preventing the Wastegate from opening when it's supposed to by over tightening the rod. the immediate damage you might never notice but that has good potential to have your boost creep more than where it should be. as done here there is no damage because he barely forced to put the actuator back on. but to anyone not sure about how it functions be careful.
thanks for the advice i'm thinking baout this
my guess is the stock turbo is running out of flow in the higher RPMs more than it's the ECU pulling boost for engine protection. What I noticed with this dude's pulls is the peak boost was a bit higher but it still tapered off. that said, the ECU should adapt over time back to the target numbers unless you reprogram it.
After about 4 months, has the ECU adjusted for the stiffer wastegate? I've heard that the ECU will figure out the mod and the car will go back to stock on its own.
No I haven't noticed it going back to stock and it still holds higher boost to redline. However, I have done quite a few more mods since so I have unplugged my battery and reset my ECU since so I am no to sure lol
+Jason Pennybaker cool thanks for the reply. I did 2 full turns on my wastegate and I'm now getting a peak of 15.5 psi and it holds around 12 rather than 10.
+Honda4RideRed No problem man. Good to hear that you are getting some more boost out of this. I was thinking about doing some more turns but I have been really happy with the results. I just installed a new intercooler and my boost has smoothed out even more. BTW Keep the videos coming...you have the best Genesis TH-cam channel IMO!
+Jason Pennybaker Thanks! We try to make a video for everything on our cars. I originally read the thread Grimmspeed did. They tested the car with 2.5 turns so I decided to play it safe at 2. I don't think it's recommended to do anything more than 3 turns.
the GoPro was very helpful man keep it up
Thanks man will do
I just did this on my 2011 2.0 T R-Spec. I just turned the rod one full turn (360 degrees) and it made a nice change. I hope the
ECU does not learn about it right away and I hope the motor doesn't mind the change. I don't know if it makes more power but it does rev out better and I don't miss the 3 series quite so much.
Glad you made some nice changes. I love hearing positive results such as mine. A lot of people are hesitant on this mod but a believe a turn or two is not going to cause long term harm. I have 20k miles with this mod and she still runs as strong as ever.
So, would you need a tune when your doing this? Or is it still safe, and also how much more boost did you get from this and how far can you push ? Love the video 🥳
My check engine light came on so I ran the code it said adjust waste gate actuator, apparently over time it became loose. I did just what this video shows and fixed the problem, the check engine light went off. So this video is useful information.
i really want to do this as im on a tight budget and cant afford mods at the moment. i do have a few questions however. first, will i need a tune after i do this? second, is there a high probability of damaging my engine or my turbo? and third, will this trip my check engine light? the last one im not really worried about just more curious
ok sweet thanks for the help much appreciated
I checked my waste gate actuator arm and it wasn't bolted to anything or connected to anything. It was just flopping around and I got a CEL code for the turbo boost sensor... I don't get how that could happen?
great vid! sudden music scared me lol
Hey man love the video, I'm sure this has been asked but I have the 2014 genesis 2.0, can this be done on that and also having a hard time finding engine management systems or fuel/reflashing systems for the gen
Kyle Spalding also wondering if this works on The 13+ gens
I completely destroyed my adjustment by any chance do you know where the stock adjustment sits
its like getting a manual boost controller or a bleed valve but not having a retune
Will this work with my 2013 genesis bk2 6speed
Hello from Bulgaria. So, have a difrent after WG modifikation?
Sold the Genesis! I'm still here to answer questions from my experiences but I moved on to a 1995 Nissan Skyline GTR V-Spec 🤘🏻 Stay tuned for lots more vids. I am living in Japan so tons of JDM madness coming soon!
Captain Two6 nice platform skyline it’s a big step and new experience
marsocreaper I’m honestly in love and it’s a completely different car. I do miss some aspects of the Genesis but the GTR is in a different league which is crazy considering the car is from 1995!
Capt Two6 Ik I’m late but my first car is going to be Genesis 2.0t, and I was wondering what mods you had on it, and any car knowledge I should know moving forward
@@dedrickriley1188 I got me a Hyundai genesis 2010 2.0t and let me tell you...I break necks on the road! Freshly painted my car Black. And then I went to modding.
Mod list:
Stage 1 tune by SFR
MST 18x9.5 matte black wheels
AF Dynamic cold air intake
OBX racing 02 housing
Depo racing down pipe
Muffler delete
High quality 3M tint
Drilled and Slotted rotors
Duck Tail Spoiler

Headlights with led strip
Transmission from a BK2 Genesis
Do you have an Instagram? I’ve been planning on moving to japan but don’t know how to go about doing it. And I also own a 2013 genesis coupe 2.0t that I want to sell to get an r32 skyline
I'm subbing I love how your helping everybody out , I have a Genesis coupe 2.0t , i'm stuck between a Catback exhaust with or without mufflers , along with that what else can I add to make my coupe faster ?
There's quite a bit you can do. I recommend a tune. This will give you a noticeable power gain instantly. You can also remove your cats and go with an o2 housing and bigger down pipe to free up your exhaust. I wouldn't worry about an intake so much...more noise than power really
@@CaptTwo6 where can I get a time.. so if I did a downpipe or just tuck it in straight piped is a power game going to be noticeable I'm top end..
Will this work on a 13 sonata 2.0t? Also will this throw the check engine code p2565?
Quick question, can I fo this on my 2011 Sonata 2.0t???
Very clear step by step instruction. Other videos - where the guys just talking wtf? Might as well not posting their videos
Hey I have a 2010 automatic genesis and I have a short ram intake with a hks blow off valve kit. But I was wondering if I should get a tune first for my stock turbo or say fuck it and upgrade my turbo 🧐 oh and will this mod work for me?
So it caused your boost to hit around 17lbs? I am a little apprehensive to try this since i'm running a powerx reflash that is supposed to put the boost to around 20. I'm afraid it may hit around 22-23 on my tune and cause some damage
John Sullivan Yeah I wouldn’t recommend it then. If you are already getting 20 on your stock turbos then I would be happy with that. The stock turbos are pretty small lol
My friend just got one of these. Looks like this will be the first thing done to it. Thanks!
Yep frees up some HP
It works in all turbo engines. Turn 1/4 each time. I recomend to gow very slow for starters. You can blow your turbo or worse your engine... i prefer a remap...
This can be done, within certain limits. The actuator (the other end of the rod he adjusted) has to stay within a certain voltage range or your check engine light (CEL) will come on. That voltage range indicates the position of the actuator. Making this adjustment will change the position of the actuator. He's adjusting it towards one of the limits on the allowable scale. So, even if this works, if anything changes, such as due to wear, you may be so close to the limit that the change will push you over the limit and trigger the CEL.
As long as you're within the specs, the adjustment shouldn't damage the engine. If you're out of the spec range, you'll trigger the CEL, but it may take a couple of days before it comes on. Check the voltage range allowable for the actuator and the proper procedure to adjust this while reading that voltage, then go toward the edge of the range without going beyond it and see if that helps.
Also, the instructions call for adjusting this on a COLD engine. The turbo charger gets extremely hot. You use a scan tool to read the voltage on the actuator with the ignition in the ON position, but without the engine running (for a keyless system, push the button twice, but DON'T step on the brake as you do it).
Where do I find this limit? I have the service manual but I'm not sure what to look for
@@jestinhouse5854 It should be in the service manual. It's a voltage range that will show up on a scan tool.
Is it ok to leave the heat shield off or should i put it back ? and thanks for your guide it really helped alot,
You would be fine leaving it off. Just remember not to touch your manifold at any point running your car. That is the hottest section of your exhaust lol. I leave mine on because I know I would accidentally touch it.
what does this do about the turbo lag?
I have a 100% stock 2010 gen and i see you say go with the PRW tune now which is the one I need? The stage 1 tune?
Brambila 7326 If I remember correctly you will need the base tune. It will still make a very noticeable increase in power
alphaspeed for the win
I Ave 2013 genesis 2.0 stuck how can I get more hp
After a year of having this now i have a check engine light to adjust the actuator and im getting no boost
Me too can’t seem to figure it out
Very helpful thank you
Doubt you’ll see this comment but if by chance you do, I’m on stock tune but got a cold air, exhaust, BOV, if I do this will I have any issues? Or would you recommend I get a tune first then do this. And if it’s fine doing it on stock tune will this freak my ECU out? I put a block off plate on my BOV and the car DID not like it although the flutter was amazing. Anyways would love a response!
Howd it go I have same set up and wanna do it
I have a 2011 Genesis just like yours did this make a difference cuz if so I got to do this cuz mine just seems like it needs a little bit more help lol
Also take out the cats
What about the forge bolt on wastgate. Has 10-15 psi spring and rod I feel that's more for me I'd hate to mess up something and get creep.
Kyle Rice I’ve seen them for sale but never had any personal experience with them. I know they look nicer ha
Kyle Rice Haha awesome. I would love to hear the feedback on it. The BOV is loud though so just a heads up. Even with a small amount of gas pedal it goes WHOOOOSH haha
I'm thinking of doing this to my gen but I want it to be safe. how long have you had it done ? is there a noticeable more amount of power ?
+The Best (Hoffman) I have had this mod done for 4 months now and zero problems whatsoever. My tuner actually recommended me doing this to achieve the target boost levels for the tune. I do not have any dyno numbers before and after but there are some posts on the Genesis forums that show an increase in HP and TQ on a stock car with just this mod. All it is mainly doing is holding the boost at a higher PSI longer instead of dipping down so quick. I am happy with this mod and I do not intend on changing it back. I might actually do 1 1/2 more turns. Hope this helps
+Captain 2.Slow I tried another 360° turn and took it for a shake down on my local freeway. went to inspect and my exhaust housing was glowing red. needless to say I turned it back down
I did this with my second gen and it didn't work. my car would not boost at all. does it work on all gens? didn't disconnect the battery tho. maybe that's it. give me some feed back please. thanks
Greg Keefer Hey Greg...since you have the BK2(2nd Gen) Genesis, your car has an electronic wastegate so this mod will not work for your car. As far as not getting into boost I am not sure what would cause that. I know for the new Gen Coupes they will not boost if you are low on fuel. The ECU prevents this as a safety feature for your car. What other mods do you have done?
hey man did you ever have any issues from your tune or is it safe ?
It has been fine for me. I have ran the tune for over 20k miles now but I do change the oil religiously and baby her off of the track. No complaints with PRW!
Can I do this even without pushing more boost through the car? Just full stock I can do this and it will be beneficial?
Thanks
Evin Kilicarslan I don't believe this will raise your peak boost. It just holds the wastegate closed for a longer period of time which will result is a higher boost to redline. Stock levels should be 14psi peak and taper to 10psi.
I have been trying to figure out an issue on my 2011 Genesis. My CEL came on for the turbo bypass and I have another code for low boost. I am only getting MAYBE 7.5psi. I pulled the diverter off and the diaphragm had suction so I would think it is ok. I am not turbo savvy as this is my first vehicle with one. You ever have this happen and maybe have some suggestions for me on what to look at?
EDIT...after watching this fully, my heat shield is missing. I wonder if the previous owner did this and dialed it back too far.
UberDAHnooB Could be the cause of your issue. Are you running a boost gauge?
I was using Torque. Turned out to be my boost solenoid which was actually only a $50 part at the dealership. Replaced that and now the car flies!
UberDAHnooB Hell yeah good to hear!
Yeah the guys at Forge let me know after I had ordered their BOV.
any chance you can do the same thing on a hyundai sonata 2.0T? no one has a video on how to do it from the beginning step by step...
TheCurseofFate I'm not too sure...as long as your turbo has an external wastegate you should be able to tighten the arm to get the same effect
the reason why i'm asking is because mine is, yes, external, but it's in the lower portion by next to the firewall underneath a heat shield that's hard to pull out and u'm not sure if i should bend it or not.
Anyone do this with a gauge I’m only pushing 10lbs wot Genesis coupe 2.0t 2012
Can someone please help, I did this to my 2011 2.0t r-spec and I was making 15psi before then I did it and now I barely make 5psi and my car is revving on its own and the car is bouncing on its own when I hold a certain speed
I know this is an old post, but I would assume you probably blew one of your air intake lines off. Check all the lines that run off of your air intake manifold, your blow off valve, or whatever you’ve got. If they’re all secure then you should be getting boost. If they are all good then the problem is with this mod or you damaged the turbo.
Quick question, where is your boost gauge tapped into, is it on the green and white air filter on the intake?
Hey i have question i just got my genesis and it has 02 housing full isis exhaust and cone filter i wanna do this on my genesis and i have no idea if the previous owner already adjust the wastegate is there any chance u can tell me if has been adjust? What i see on my wastage still have the white mark?
ricardo hidalgo I'm not sure how to check but my best guess would to look at a boost gauge. Before I adjusted my wastegate I would see 14 psi then it would taper to 9 psi. If it's any higher than that I would say it has been tightened
Ok thanks for ur reply i dont have boost gauge right now i just want to know if u have a measure ment so i can measure
ricardo hidalgo The Torque app.. with a Bluetooth OBD2 sensor port
Very skeptical of this since runs after mid are totally different, in third gear only, vs 1 st through 3 rd in run before mod. So this doesn't really show the improvement, if any.
can i do it with no tune?
Will doing this to my genny effect a future canned tunes performance?
yes, I would definitely not do this. tunes/reflashed ecus usually raise the boost properly to about the limit that the stock turbo/internals can handle. Doing this with a tune would cause the boost to go too high and would probably lead to a big boom sound after a few times. My tune raises the boost to 19-20lbs. Which means it would hit like 24-23 instead, not safe.
at hight boost it gets this spitting sound if u will, will this small mode help that?
it sounds to me like you had a boost leak. this wouldnt have helped with that
Rember to tune your gensis cause this will increase psi, when i replaced my Westgate I thought I had the same length but was pushing 22 psi blew all my solenoids and map censore
I had mine tuned but good info for sure
does this also give a better sound when u come off the gas? :P
sonson381 It definitely back fires a lot more now. Almost every time I get on it I hear popping. It just the unused fuel getting burned. I really enjoy it though. I have done about 20 runs on our Auto X track and maybe 30 passes on our drag strip since and the mod has been great.
Hi, was your turbo still all good when you sold the car? (Im scared of damaging it lol)
Ink Tripz yup zero issues and I ran it hard at the track for over a year. Only thing that was going out was the clutch lol
@@CaptTwo6 Hello bro ! I'm searching for a video about How to make a first gen genesis caster bcauz I read that it wasn't that fast. Is it true ? And what do you think I can do to make it faster without spending too much ? Thanks !
@@Who-vk2ke It is not fast from the factory by any means (at least the 2.0T version). With any boosted car opening up the exhaust will help the turbo response. ECU flash is the best bang for the buck with these cars to get some extra HP. The stock turbo is small so it can only handle around 250whp which is decent compared to stock but not fast..it is "faster" though if that makes sense lol
@@CaptTwo6 Okay thanks ! I think 250 is enought for me, it is going to be my second car and before this, I had a VW Golf 1.4 tfsi with only 122hps... this sh*t was slow as hell
Great how to video! I just wish this was for the 2013 2.0t lol that wastegate rattle is pretty much not fixable .... =/ that's the reason why I am going turbo upgrade =D
Wastegate rattle? I have a rattle, trying to figure out what it is...
Dude can you tell me in all honesty.. is the genesis that slow? i mean being turbo there has to be easy ways to make it quick... im upgrading from an SRT4, i test drove a genesis and i fell in love. but stock boost and all that is just so low...
+Kenny Riveron Hey man...yeah its super slow, especially in stock form. The turbo is so small and cant push more than 250ish WHP without upgrading. A tune definitely helps but by no means is it fast. I hit mid 14's in the 1/4 mile with my current set up which is decent on all season tires. I would try to go with a 2013 or newer simply because it comes stock with 60 more hp. You can easily get over 300 whp with some bolt-ons.
+Kenny Riveron, Hey it's got the same TD04 turbo as your SRT4. BUT, it was set up at the factory by a 5 year old Korean toddler. The wastegate has TOO much play. It's so loose that it needs at least 2 whole turns on the arm to get it to baseline. The other thing is the BPV/Purge Valve (whatever you want to call it) releases pressure at part throttle acceleration, so you're better off capping the solenoid and tapping into a vacuum source from the intake manifold. The other thing is the air filter box is also very restrictive, but the pipe going to the turbo is 3" so if you get a 3" cone filter with a 3" short pipe it will really breathe better. Basically for about $30, for a 3" cone filter, 3" pipe, about 6ft of 5/32" vacuum line, a vacuum cap, a Tee and 3 zip ties, it becomes a fun car. I'm a Turbo Mopar Guy, I've got a 1990 Dodge Daytona Shelby VNT and a 1993 Dodge Daytona IROC RT and can honestly say it's about as fast as both of them after the $30 mods I did. And it's a lot more fun to drive and a hell of a lot easier to mod. It loves to kick the ass out, think of it as the offspring of a Vette and the Daytona IROC RT. The TD04 with the wastegate set correctly still has a little more lag than the T25 VNT in the Shelby VNT, but less than the T3 in the IROC RT. Also, the 10-12 Gennies had a vacuum wastegate, Mopars got rid of the vacuum wastegate back in 1985. Basically with a little fine tuning it becomes a very fun car to drive. And if you tune it and go crazy with bolt ons, it becomes a beast.
You mean you downgraded
My understanding is the turbo is smaller on the first gen coupe (KO3) vs a TD04 Twin Scroll on the second gen? (Hence the large difference in HP)
Will this work on a 2013 gen? Thank you
No 2013 has electronic wastegate
1 more question what is the best mod without tune?? And about the blow off valve do i need tune for it?
ricardo hidalgo no tune needed for the blowoff valve and I would recommend an exhaust...preferably 3" in diameter
I do have full isis exhaust 3inch and catless o2 housing i just bought the boost gauge so im gonna try that
2011 gen coupe 2.0t is there a way to test the ECU to see if its bad? My issue is it ran for 3 secs and now wont run at all
Tim Gabriel Jr After you messed with the wastegate?
Captain Two6 no i havent did this mod yet. It just wont run. Now wont even turn over. With a new battery... FML lol
I dropped the clip :( idk where it went. It went to the twilight zone. I looked on the ground, on top of every part it could of landed on…nothing lol. Does anyone know where to get a replacement?
I found a replacement no big. Although I have a bk2 and I turned my actuator 3 half spins as well. I went for a test drive and it shot my boost up over 15lbs, idk how much I was making since that’s only what the stock gauge reaches. I just turned it down one half spin, hopefully that puts it in a better spot. It was fun on 3 half spins, but it did feel like it was pushing the limit of the stock turbo. It got a little shaky after about 70 mph.
Could this mod work on a sonata 2.0t?
Yes
well I just done it to mine definitely a slight difference thanks captain 2.slow
i know it’s been six years but i’m thinking of doing this to my genny, would you still recommend it?
Yes absolutely!
@@CaptTwo6 Thank you🙏🙏
@@CaptTwo6 just another question, what type of fuel do you use for your genny?
Hey man, I am looking forward to buy a genesis coupe but everyone says that 3.8L has less problem than 2.0T ... Is it true ? Please, be honest since you have experience with the car I can rely on your comment. Thanks!
+ayberk vergul I haven't heard that yet but I do believe a NA motor will last longer than a forced induction motor simply because of the stress a turbo puts on the engine. My car has been very reliable and just like any car, as long as you maintain it and treat it right it will take care of you. I just hit 18k miles and I have not had one hiccup with my 2.0t and it's a 2011....knock on wood haha
+Captain 2.Slow Gotcha, I m looking for used 2012-2013 cars they are all above 30-40 k miles. I hope I can find the right car then. One of my friend said dont buy hyundai go buy mustang or camaro they are way more reliable and cheap to fix he said but I dont know how true it is..
Haha tell your friend he doesn't know what he is talking about. I owned a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 before my Genesis and that thing was falling apart by 25k miles. My mom owned a Ford Fusion that was broken from day 1 and her Mustang now is constantly giving her problems. Fords are junk. My Genesis feels way better built just saying ha
+Captain 2.Slow gotcha, which one is easier to fix if we try to fix it by ourself ? and I'm not gonna by a gt I'm a student with no job . lol
+ayberk vergul My Genesis is the easiest car I've ever had to work on. The amount of room in the engine bay is insane, especially near the turbo and downpipe. This is because they pack the 3.8 in the same engine bay. I can do almost anything on my Gen with basic tools and minimal time. My Mustang was a beast and took some work to get to certain parts. Just my 2 cents but I am no pro by any means, just someone who has owned a wide range of cars that likes to tinker
Hey man i got a 2011 automatic everything stock. Should i do this to my car? And also if i do it, since im stock will it affect anything?
I'm not too sure about the autos my man...I would look into that one. It shouldn't matter if it's stock or not though
I did this before I got my tune. I noticed a lil more torque but not much. Had it on for like half a year but go ahead, couple turns won't hurt
Dear friend either after you I need you to answer to a query after your ear and the question is Forn Alchukman or header temperature rises to the color changed to red like a flame with the knowledge that without any pressure on the engine and a final thank you
Karem Metawea I am not too sure what you are asking me because I am not familiar with alchukman. However I do believe that with the motor holding higher boost to redline it will increase temperatures but nothing that is harmful. Even at stock boost levels the exhaust will glow red.
Will this work on the auto? And will a CEL come on?
Zac mercer I don’t think this works on an auto but maybe someone can chime in. No CEL though for mine
a served in genesis coupe 2.0t? or it can be broken? it is the first model year 2011.. Thank you.
+dani buch The first model year I believe is 2010 but this is pretty much the same car with some minor variations. It is safe if you are tuned for it since the tune will be supplying more fuel and more timing. I don't recommend cranking the wastegate hoping to achieve crazy HP numbers.
+Captain 2.Slow how many times can I westage? without harming the engine. the maximum of horsepower. my hyundai is the same as you have
1-2 full turns is what I would recommend. More than that is on you lol
for testing purposes i closed my waste gate shut completely i left 1 threat exposed i did take precautions when i did this my gen had a base map what that means it had 7k rev limiter no speed governor and i had to run 93oct i was peaking 19psi all the way to 15 psi to redline you can do it but at least have a cold air intake, and never go past 6500k rpm not worth the extra 500 cuz. u have no power after 6300rpm i gapped stage 1 bk1's with exhaust intake and intercooler, civic si' tuned rsx's you name it just don't hammer it all day long cuz you can melt your turbo seals and end up with melted turbo on ur manifold. also the ecu does not adapt to it so by just doing that u have atleast 270torque 280hp i did it for 4 months no issues just make sure u have good high temp performance full synthetic for those high temps u might also notice your down pipe gets a little red when it's hot in the dark after racing a couple passes witch is normal.
correction* 260HP 290tq* thanks for the like lol and it peaked 22psi not 19
won't you need to take it to a performance shop to retune this on a dyno? Cos you're getting more boost on the stock tune so you're gonna be running really lean. that'd be non-ideal of inefficient combustion and hence will decrease the longevity of the motor and it just won't run healthy.
u might even need an aftermarket ecu im not sure
+datstocklyfe No not necessarily. This mod doesn't increase boost. It holds the boost a little higher to redline. I have a ECU reflash from PRW and Will the owner recommended me doing this to a get a little extra power. It's safe to do a turn or two. There's no manic mod to increase boost and HP safely.
They run rich from the factory I say get a grimspeed boost controller end of story and maybe engine lols.
So you're increasing the boost pressure, but it seems like the turbo is too small since it's only going beyond 15psi at 4k
The turbos are definitely very small on the genesis lmaoo
Why didn't your alarm go off ? Whenever i disconect the battery and connect it again, the car goes crazy and honks at me.
Hmm never heard of that before. Do you have an aftermarket alarm system? You could always pull out your ECU fuse to reset it. Same concept I just prefer the battery because it takes me 2 seconds and I'm already under the hood
Idk. I bought the car used.
The only alarm I have is the key alarm stuff.
Michael Carreiro Well at least you know your car has a good alarm ha
do you need to but the c clip back??
Yes so don't lose it when you remove it
Does this work on bk2 automatics?
Steven I’m not sure honestly. I want to say no but maybe someone can chime in with some insight
No, you have an electronic wastegate
will this work the same for the automatic ?
Honestly I don't think so but I'm not sure..maybe someone else can chime in
+Justin Pardy Yes this will work the same for the automatic. The wastegate does exactly what it sounds like, it opens up a port or hole in the exhaust housing to route exhaust gases around the turbine to help control how fast it spins. It would be the same for manual or automatic because it's not dependent on the transmission.
+John Wisniewski thanks for the insight 👍🏻
i have a 2010 Genesis Coupe. everything is stock. what tune do you recommend?
+DgoSRCF Is it manual or auto? If it is manual I highly recommend checking out Piranha Racewerks. They offer a base tune for 91 or 93 octane which is good for a stock car or a short ram/cold air intake. They have the option to rent their device for 350 and once you mail it back you get 150 refunded. So 200 bucks will raise your stock boost from 14 to 18psi and you will net 30-40 WHP and 70+ ft/lb tq. For the price this is the best bang for your buck on this car hands down. It's super easy to tune as well...you receive the unit, plug it in, follow the instructions and enjoy! I run the PRW 91 base tune with full bolt ons and you can check out my other videos to see the results (dyno, 0-60, racing and more)
its manual. alright thanks man
Captain Two6 what about a 2013 automatic?
This is a 2012 2.0 turbo stock turbo right ?
yes
Would this work with bk2?
I don’t think so
I just installed my boost gauge and im only making 10psi at 6th gear 4th and 5th 7psi
ricardo hidalgo I would check your hoses and make sure there aren't any kinks in it. What does your boost taper off to?
You don't want to floor it in 6th gear at any speeds under 70 mph. It's lugging on the engine and turbo, very bad.
do i have to have a tune to be able to do this??
Armando Marquez No but you get more out of it with a tune
Will it work on a 14 gen?
Not exactly sure man but I believe so
Is this car stock
How much was the difference?
Marco Briones I don’t know exact hp numbers but it was very noticeable 👌🏼
Is this safe? I mean how much boost can the stock turbo hold?
+Alex Svanascini the stock turbo runs out of breath around 20-22psi. This is safe depending on your current set up. I have a tune and my tuner recommended me to try this to hold higher boost longer. This doesn't necessarily increase your stock boost but it holds it a little higher to redline.

Get a tune for sure, did this and engine blew
😂😂😂
Bout to be on the same boat as you🤣🤣🤣 I wanna put a bov before I tune driving it like its on limp mode but it isn't needs a tune ASAP
sorry bro:/
🧑🚒
@@whoyouscrub4023on’t mean to revive a old thread but you don’t need a tune to run a BOV, all they do is let off the extra air pressure that needs to escape when you lift your foot off the gas instead of recirculating it.
I've taken the c-clip off but I can't pull the thing up
When i replaced mine I used my door trim tool the metal one to pop the peice off cause it was a bitch
Michael Manning lol thx for the idea
what kind of blowoff valve setup do you have?
It's a Forge atmospheric BOV. Really loud...just saying ha
@@CaptTwo6 how much they cost
Stephen Morgan I paid like 140 for it
hey if I have a 100% stock Gen and I want to do this mod is it "safe" ?
Honestly I personally wouldn't recommend it. The hp gains would be negligible. I would save up for a tune and go from there. The tune will be the best way to get some good power from this car. PRW has a tune for a stock Genesis and it's awesome.
Alright thanks
One last question how much does the tune cost do you know
+Marc Slum It's $200 with a 150 refundable deposit. They send the unit and you plug it in, push some buttons, and you go smoke your tires afterwards 👍🏻
+Captain 2.Slow alright thanks a lot
I have a stock 2012 Genesis I really felt the difference but my turbo is really red is that normal? @Captain2.Slow
A turbo will glow depending on how hard you ride it.
Okay thanks and I'm also not tuned I'm completely stock. Do you think this would be a problem?
+Luis Robles yeah I honestly wouldn't mess with the wastegate unless you get tuned for it. I only did it because my tuner said I would be good to go. It's not worth the headache if something goes wrong lol
Haha alright thanks man I'm gonna switch it back lol
+Luis Robles No problem. Get that tune and and then have at it ha
your guage shows you having the same boost levels.
How come this didn't work on my BMW?
Put a turbo on your BMW then you could mess around with the waste gate ha
wont this cause engine to run lean?
It's possible if you are stock. Be advised that I have a PRW tune which caused it to run a little rich so there is some room for play with my set-up.
can I do this mod on mine with everything being stock ?
Absolutely you can
I wouldn't recommend it...
What turbo gauge is that?
It's a Depo Racing white face mechanical boost gauge 👍🏻
www.deporacing.us/shop/boost-gauges/52mm-psi-white-mechanical-boost-gauge-smoked-lens/
I got my car then I noticed the waste gate it wierd is there a way I can set it back to normal
If I previous owner messed with it I would suggest finding another Genesis with a wastegate that is stock and count the threads on the arm. That's honestly he only think I could think of lol. What is weird about it?
+Jason Pennybaker it pulls harder and how much thead do I need to be shown
+Jason Pennybaker its just idk anyone with a 2013 genesis around
Taras Andriychuk Sorry I didn't count them before I adjusted mine but I can turn it back 1 1/2 turns and count them this weekend to help you out.
+Jason Pennybaker that would help alot because dont wana over boost and after a while might blow something
Can it be done on automatic 2013 2.0
I'm not sure about the automatics. Check out the forums
No, it has a electronic waste gate
I want more power but where I don't have to break the bank just to do it teen that somewhat easy lol
I say send it man...easy way to free up some HP. A tune is pretty cheap and goes a long way too. Dont waste money on an intake unless you just want turbo sounds
Get a electronic boost gauge and up the boost to 17 psi using the wastegate arm. You want to make it shorter so the wastegate stays more closed. Allowing more boost to run. Over 18psi the ecu flips out.
@Chevy guy55
What does this mod do?
Chancey Wyrosdic Free HP!
how many hp you get ??
+Martin Sanchez I don't know from this mod directly but I put down 70hp and 130tq more than stock with boltons and tune
is it normal for the manifold to glow red when beating on the turbo
no head shield
heat
Rajiv Gobin It will glow if you were pushing it hard. Most people don't notice glowing because they keep the heat shield on lol
genesis cope 2.0 t
Do i need to explain why you shouldn't do this?
Feel free to. I am tuned and my tuner recommended doing this to help hold my boost. My AFR's are solid at WOT and I have put close to 10k miles with lots of hard driving with zero problems. A few turns won't hurt anything especially if the motor has some miles on it.
+Captain 2.Slow
I don't see an issue with this as well. All you are doing is making the spring a little stiffer so it doesn't release the boost as quick. The only downside I can see with this is if you tighten it TOO much or extreme prolonged use could cause the OEM spring to go bad, quicker. If that happens to be the case, I'll just go out and get the Forge actuator.
I just did mine two 360 degree turns this afternoon but haven't gotten a chance to drive it.
Prior I would push about 18psi (SFR Tune) and it would tail off to about 15 or less so we will see what happens now.
+msmith87 Yes I agree. I have stuck with the 1 1/2 turns since I made this video. To me it sounds like your SFR tune is pretty good. I was hitting 17 psi and tapering to 10 but now I'm holding 14-15 to redline
+Captain 2.Slow
I just got done driving around. boost gauge was showing 17-18psi and around 5750 (I have an AT) it dropped to about 14-15psi so it still holds well.
Did the butt dyno show any gains? Lol
