- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- So last video, I went over what it's been like to own a Veloster from a consumer level (and briefly touched on what it's like from a car enthusiast's perspective). This video dives into what my experience has been with my modifications and what you could expect if you chose to do any of these. There's some interesting new updates so check it out!

It was my 16th birthday yesterday and i got a Veloster turbo 2013 your vids are really going to help bro thank you
Happy Birthday! A bit late but congrats on the car and hope my videos (and future videos) help!
i know I'm quite randomly asking but do anyone know of a good site to stream new tv shows online?
@@xzavierlyle3086 plex
@Xzavier Lyle I use FlixZone. Just search on google for it :)
Yo I just bought a white 2014 veloster turbo and been watching pretty much all of your videos. Definitely gonna do alot of the mods you have done!
Awesome! I appreciate it!
I just bought me a 2013 Veloster Turbo and your video is helping me slowly mod my car. I’m starting off with all the lights.
Yea, lights make such a big difference for cars haha
Im buying a veloster tomorrow morning. Its a 2017 base i believe and im definitely diggin the spoiler. Good vids man
Thanks! Enjoy the car!
Another great video sir! And Damn! Glad I replaced my turbo XS as well. I agree that there is a HUGE difference between the two BOVs. I feel much safer with the GFB bov if that makes sense I mean, why buy them twice you will pay more than you would have anyway just saving a buying the better BOV. I do not want to be stuck in limp mode as I drive about the same distance to work. That really sucks about your hood. Tork tune is next on the list for me. They sell a package where you just buy the dongle with a usb and it has all of the tunes on it from my understanding and you can change your tune as you upgrade your ride. (Saw someone asking below thought it might help) Wish I would have done that a long time ago so the performance would be what it should be as I upgrade parts. :)
Yea that seems to be the trend. SXTH does the same but doesn't give you all the tunes. You do have to pay for a "re-tune" from my understanding. Glad you like the GFB DIVX!
Weathertech window defectors look great on my 2014 turbo!
It's such a subtle thing to add to your car but I love em!
If y’all want your veloster to have pops and crackles you don’t need a full exhaust job, just get a muffler delete and you can get it tuned if you want to get even more. All i have is a stock tune with a cold air and a muffler delete and mine sounds amazing! (Mine is a 13 turbo) I daily my car and it is loud don’t get me wrong but there is no drone at all. I kept the resonator and cats but those will be gone soon >:)
Love the build I have a 14 sonata 2.0t with many goodies. Ypu.ahould check out CPE exhaust if you want something loud but not obnoxious. I have a cat back and it's very deep under idle.
Oh I wonder if they make stuff for the Veloster. I'll check!
Super late but do any of these affect MPG? I’ve heard some mods do that and wondering if any of these reduce MPG. LOVE the videos, super helpful and informative, keep the videos coming 👍
From personal experience, the BOV was the only thing that I noticed had a big enough change to talk about. The prior TurboXS BOV gave me terrible mileage. The new GFB DIVX Valve corrected that. Neither of the two gave the same mileage the stock Bypass Valve offered. It was like a 2-3 MPG difference.
Chayness, Hi from NJ. Always enjoy your channel! I have a Veloster base model. I was cleaning the interior recently and notice a couple of scuffs on door.panels. Can you recommend a product or repair solution? Much appreciated! Linda
Oh man I need to find something myself. My scuffs were never super bad and usually came off with water and a micro fiber but if you have worst scratches id look into interior cleaners. Wish you luck and feel free to share your findings.
@@Chayness Thanks Chayness. Scuffs aren't too bad but I'll work on it. 🤟
i have a 2016 turbo and that same Turboxs valve lasted me 5k miles till i went into limp mode.
I never had that issue but I suppose I replaced it at the right time.
You mentioned the high beams as drls? Mine dont come on when i put it on drl mode on the turn signal stock Inheard the us versions dont do that
It does work, the problem is that the DRL's only activate when the hand brake not engaged, So if you drive stick, you won't really notice it.
Almost all aftermarket body parts, especially carbon fiber and fiberglass, need to be fitted, while yes many will bolt on, but will not set perfect without work
Did you tune your car after installing the BOV and Short Ram? I read online articles that stated if you modify any system that affects the air/fuel ratio of the car, then you’d need to tune it.
I did not tune the car but that statement is only partially correct. While tuning your car will maximize the benefit of those modifications, the Gen 1 VT has enough breathing room with the stock ECU that it will take into account the upgrades and provide a benefit to drive and power. Not huge mind you, but you don't need a tune unless you really want to spend the money on one. Personally, if tuning is in your future, i'd advise getting all your bolt ons first (BOV, Catch Can, Intake, Exhaust, FMIC) and then tuning the car so it'll take to account all the mods. Otherwise you will have to tune every time you add something new.
@@Chayness appreciate the information. Im waiting until I have all of the mods before tuning. Like you said it’d be a waste of money to tune every time. Once my CatBack comes in I’ll start installing all of my mods. I’m running stock for now.
Have you done anything to your headlights to prevent or remove sun damage?
Funny you mention that, it is one of the next projects.
Do you consider an ecu update stage 1 ? Any thoughts
Great question. It depends as many different tuners handle ECU upgrades differently. Personally a simple ECU update would be more like a "Stage 0" tune. For example, SXTH Engineering who offer ECU tuning have a "Stage 0" or an ECU Calibration. This means they tune the ECU but basically keep it stock, they just iron out some issues with the stock tuning and make the car more "efficient". They then offer a series of different tunes based off of certain "stages" like lightly modified, lightly modified with cat delete, full bolt on, and customer ECU tuning (for those with built engines or stuffed/upgraded larger turbos). All these tunes are to increase horsepower of course. In this sense, they offer "Stage 0" (no power increase or very very little increase), Stage 1, Stage 1.5, Stage 2 and up basically. The Stages are more defined by the tuner themselves.
What made you get rid of the turbo xs BOV?
Originally I just felt that after sometime it wasn't performing as well as it used to. I felt like it wasn't holding boost too well at high boost or basically at high rpm.
Did you get Strut bar from Megan racing ? Or redline360?
Strut bar is Megan Racing.
Hey man, big fan I’m planning on getting a 2017 Veloster turbo at 93,000km. Would you recommend and are you already at 400,000km? Or am I making a mistake lol
I was at 43,452 kilometers but in this video much lower lol. That km for a 2017 isn't bad.
@@Chayness ahh okay, thought I was losing my mind, I’ve made a decision. Your videos got me really excited for the Veloster, I’ll be picking it up next week. Thank you man for this channel, very helpful! Please be safe and take care man! :) I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos 😁
@@jlauaesthetics8332 Thanks, that means a lot and good luck with the car. Let me know once you get it!
@@Chayness will do bro, I’ll definitely let you know once I get it, are you planning on keeping the Veloster or selling it? :O
@@jlauaesthetics8332 I actually recently parted ways with it. But I'll still be making Veloster content cuz the car has a special place for me. It'll just be on a friends Veloster lol
Have you ever found a turbo timer for the Veloster? Or needed one?
Funny you mention that. Coming from old turbo kits, I highly considered one the moment I bought the car but these turbo systems have water cooling to prevent oil from cooking like that. I still let the car idle a tiny bit before completely turning the car off as good practice.
@@Chayness Awesome! Same here brother, I used to own a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8, so I am just thinking the old ways! LOL Thanks for the reply!
@@progressinthemaking6732 Oh man now that was a car. What happened?
Are you selling your spoiler ??
what are some good led low beam lights?
LASFIT has a handful of entry level options around the $50 mark. I'd personally say to get the better $100 kits as they provide more illumination but the more affordable kits are quite solid. I'll also be soon reviewing another LED company that many of you have asked me to review so that's upcoming.
@@Chayness Awesome yeah its hard to find h11b for the Veloster that are led bright bulbs. I just got one but its an h11 called Fahren I know its gonna be a pain installing it without the plug in adapter
@@yurdesire05 Hey, so I JUST reviewed a new bulb and the video for that drops tomorrow. It's the cheapest high quality bulb i've ever tested. It's been requested by viewers forever and I just got around to testing it. I'd say wait for tomorrow's video so you can see what I mean! Super bang for your buck but I highly recommend it now.
Is your headliner BLACK? I noticed your sun visors were black!
My headliner is indeed black
@@Chayness do you have a video on how you did that at all? I would love to do that myself
@@hotdogy12345 Oh I didn't do it. My car came with the black headliner.
Govee lights suck. Had several pairs and leds go out as well as adhesive. Would not recommend
While i've had a few issues with the adhesive, i've personally never had an LED go out and i've ran them on 4 cars now. One I can't speak for but the other 3 have had no issues with an LED going out. Maybe just a bad batch?
@@Chayness maybe. Tried 3 times because they’re so cheap. I got what I payed for I guess
Sell me that wing lol
If you're in Cali you may be in luck, I may be parting the vehicle out soon.
Mud flaps
LOL
My Mk1 Mx5 just got written-off it was a Japense import with 55k miles and 0 rust. So the insurance company are going to be buying me out. Always liked the look on these cars. looking for a good daily car thats comfortable, good mpg and not too slow to drive. Would you recommened this car for milage/comfort levels?
The car is comfy and quite spacious despite it being a compact car. Milage.... isn't so great but it's a fun car. One sacrifice I suppose lol
