Turbo Hyundai Sonata?
Saw this leaving the Zoo parking lot today at around 5:00. Saw the graphics and had to do a double take. Then I saw the hood scoop and had to do a triple take. Didn't get a shot of the hood though, but got a shot of the back and the side. Going to see if it's parked there tomorrow and get a good shot of the hood.

Also saw this poor 3 Series with Altezza lights. Couldn't get a shot of the Blue SRT-4 that was next to me, but some older lady was driving it.

How do you know if it was turbo?
Its not the hand you're dealt it's how you play your cards.

I don't, it had a hood scoop, probably stick on. If I see it tomorrow, I'll see if I can get a good shot under the scoop.Originally posted by joseph

Cool. Yah I've heard about turbo sonatas but if one was actually in calgary that'd be pretty cool.

I wouldn't jump too fast to the thought that it could be turbo just because of the hood scoop. I've seen way too many fake hood scoops, and they piss me off. The only true tell tale sign of FI is an intercooler, FMIC of course, you wouldn't be able to tell a TMIC unless you looked into the hood scoop.

or you could be fooled if some dumbfuck put a FMIC core in the front of his car, to make it look turbo. dont laugh, ive sadly seen it

There are also fake intercoolers... for looks. I think VIS use to make some.

yeah there are some air intake relocators that can be mounted where an FMIC goes. They look very similar too.

i doubt that sonata is actually turbocharged, because if someone is going to choose a hyundai to make a sleeper car there not going to put chrome decals on the side lol..

You don't always need a intercooler if you are turbocharging my car. You can't see side-mount intercoolers, either. my guess is, since he was driving a Hyundai, is that he was broke ass anyway. so if he was to turbo a car, he would either skip the intercooler altogether and only run 4-5lbs of boost or get a sidemount from a DSM.

To end all of the discussion...it is NOT turbo charged...its a regular Sonata, with the decals on the side...

I think that anything with a bump in the hood, must be turbocharged.
