Thread: Stalling Issue

Correct. We cannot tell whether or not an ECU has an aftermarket flash. All the flash does it change operating parameters inside of the ECU. Using the GDS we can just compare values to what the computer should be predetermined to do. If the values have been changed and the figures we are seeing are within those changed values, then all appears good.

Also 2.0T use the same oil filter as all spin on hyundais. accents, elantras, santafe 2.4 2.7 3.5, etc.

Also its not as though we do not care about modifications, its just a judgement call. If you come in for trans grinding, and I see an aifilter or whatever. Big deal. Now if I see tampered with wastegate actuator, mbc, full exhaust, worn rear tires etc etc etc then we have a problem as that is interpreted as abuse. Also Hyundai does not ask us if the car has been modified, we inform them of anything suspicious and photo document all suspicious activity. They make the final judgment call on what is cool and what you are SOL for. In the end they are a business, the less they spend the more they make.

EDIT: To answer your question, all hyundais are designed to run on regular. Most likely they couldn't find anything wrong so they just fed you some BS. If there are no codes, chalk it up to shit happens and move on.

Absolute BS from the dealership. File a complaint!

@Ryan
My comment about you guys not caring about modifications was just based on what I've done to my car. My old dealership told me that if I stuck a cone filter on it'd void my warranty... so..
Hyundai doesn't ask? When I worked for Ford they had forms that needed to be filled out stating aftermarket modifications. Different companies, different rules.

Are you saying that if I got the Forge Wastegate I'm screwed?

No worries, I used to work for your old dealership. heh.

9 out of 10 times they do not ask us about any modifications. That may change though since the GC are the most tuner friendly car they have ever produced.

I don't know anything about the forge wastegate, Is it an aftermarket wastegate actuator? Anything to do with raising boost pressure is a big no no in terms of engine related warranty. I haven't seen any engine failures so I cannot comment on how the procedure works with that in terms of warranty.

Here's a link to the product, from what I understand though is it opens and closes quicker and is designed to last longer than the OEM.

Forge Motorsport | Alloy Fabrication

they do specifically state "We cannot guarantee compatibility with all applications, nor the ability to increase the boost output beyond a level that is within the parameters set by the engine-management-system"
So.. it should be ok eh?

Yes you will be totally fine. Without a reflash you will just run into boost cut if you try to raise it too much. The whole point of those is to open the wastegate later and faster to build boost faster and more of it.
