For the accent, I don't know of anyone. 4doorGL at www.hyundaiperformance.com would be a much better source for that question.
I'll send him an e-mail with the thread link and see if he answers. wink.gif

The basic function of a chip is to reprogram your air/fuel ratio, and maybe adjust your timing a little, depending on what chip you go with. As for the RPMs, they merely remove your built-in rev limiter, leaving it up to you to decide when you should shift, which could be very disastrous if you're not sure what you're motor can handle.
As for who makes the chips, there's a few companies in Oz Land (ChipTorque, Powerchip, FuelChips) that make them. They should work with the GS as it's just a stroked version of the DOHC 1.5L over there. I was just looking at Webtech, and I didn't think the new 1.6L has a MAF sensor in favor of a MAP sensor, but the picture they show there looks as if they do sad.gif .
I'll see if I can find this out and reply back here with a definite answer. If your car has a MAP sensor like the Aussies, then you'll have no problem, otherwise it's impossible.

No, you cannot just swap MAF to MAP without changing the ECU and sundry other parts.
MAF sits in the intake air stream before the Throttle body. MAP resides inside the intake manifold AFTER the Throttle body.
So Minimum would be...
New MAP equipped Intake Manifold
new ECU to run MAP vs MAP
There are other sensors in there too, I just cant think of them at the moment.

They didn't change yours, the 2001 Elantra has always been MAP.
