Kia Stinger gt2 awd runs more boost than gt or gt1 ? tuners chime in !

There tuner saying the gt2 awd puts out 1-2 more lbs of boost at wot than gt or gt1 any of you tuners on here verify this?

I don't have the answer to this but its possible that KIA tuned the AWD to run slightly more boost to make up for the additional drivetrain loss of AWD. Curious to hear if anyone can shed some light on this.

Given the stock 1/4 mile times of RWD vs AWD models (all trim levels) being so close I would guess they all run the same factory levels of boost.

They are all programed to make the same amount's of power based on torque figures, it just entirely depends on your drivetrain and environmental conditions.

They are all the same.

There WAS some early discussion that the AWD models ran 1-2 psi boost more than the RWD models.. Not sure if it was ever verified.

@byebyeSTI and I have compaired our stock numbers, his RWD, mine AWD. Same numbers same external conditions.

What about a gt with awd?

I'd assume they are all the same but what do I know?

The GT is the same car as the GT2 programming wise, just less weight! Less weight = more faster!

you mean awd weighs more, because the drivetrain in all 3.3l engined stingers is identical, only the added awd adds more weight.

Well yes AWD does weigh more but the GT also has less features than the GT2 so it by nature weighs less. For example, no 360 camera, Different seats, ect ect.

But the OP was asking about boost. Even if my awd gt weighs maybe a tad less than an awd gt2 since I don't have a sunroof and less features, I'm still assuming that the factory boost setup is the same.

I've never read anyone saying there is some boost difference in the 3.3l across the three trims. that would mean different engine mapping across the trims and different zero to sixty times. what would be the point?
