The turbo and the servo controlled wastegate are just perfect in 3rd through 6th gear and I wouldn't change a thing.
1st and 2nd gear are a different story. 1st gear has little or no boost and you can feel the boost being modulated in 2nd gear.
I get that this is a fancy Accent and Hyundai has a big warranty to honor.
If I put soft tires on it and get the same boost in all gears I suspect that the half-shafts, wheel bearings and front suspension bushings won't make the 100,000 mile mark. I think the manual transmission would hold up but I'm not so sure about the automatic transmission.
I'm not willing to void the warranty yet. But I'm sure that there is more performance available with this car.
