It would be better to trade it in. Nobody is offering a tuning solution AFAIK. You'll probably spend a couple grand at least and still not hit the power of a stock VT.

You're basically talking about rebuilding the entire engine to support boost, which being a brand new car means many parts are either dealer only or flat don't yet exist. Take that money, trade up to a turbo and invest in a better intercooler, better piping on either side, BBTB, and other various mods. I bet that turbo can make a lot more power a lot quicker with some very basic work. It'll be a lot less expensive this way and save a ton of headaches.

You really would be better off just buying a veloster turbo, Hyundai is better at making cars than (aftermarket supplier)

Not to mention if you do turbo your N/A, you can kiss your warranty goodbye. Buy Turbo V from Hyundai with no stress or empty wallets and have a full warranty.

trade to a turbo V as stated if you are actually interested in this. The loss in trade in will be less or close to the cost of turbo'ing the NA V in the right way and with the turbo model you will get the LED headlights, tails, projectors, leather, etc. etc. at the same time.

As long as we're talking trade-ins, go for a drive in a turbo veloster and see if the power level is adequate for you. Imagine it a little higher through aftermarket parts but not much higher. If the power level is not even close to what you want, trade in for something you DO want.
