Kia is a Korean carmaker, part of the Hyundai Motor Group. Kia is positioned alongside Hyundai, with an emphasis on styling and a sporty character. The Stinger is Kia's performance saloon with a turbo V6. T-GDI is Hyundai's badge for its direct-injection turbo petrol engines. The Hyundai N-series are sporting turbo engines for the i30 N, Elantra N and Kona N. High-output Hyundai N turbo petrol engines deliver a solid gain with Stage 1.
On older-generation Hyundais, Stage 1 goes in over OBD without Bench. The Hyundai community in Eastern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files. Within Hyundai Motor Group, ECUs are partly shared, so Hyundai files often work on Kia. High-output Hyundais are the N-series and Santa Fe, with solid headroom for Stage 1.
