Default I wonder

How many NA Velosters will try and transplant the turbo parts into their car. I guess if you found a wrecked turbo V somewhere and the engine was ok, you may be able to do the swap pretty cheap.

Seems that way. Of course, it probably would have been cheaper to wait a year before you bought......

Toyota has TRD . . . Hyundai hasn't been big on selling performance parts
