NEW 2.0T OWNER

[Hillcrestphoto]

Hi everyone I’m super impressed by all the stinger builds on this website it’s insane!! I recently just purchased a 2019 2.0T premium, currently making 255HP stock. Just curious what numbers are people making with full bolt on kits? I am going to purchase the Injen Cold Air intake soon and want to purchase a good sounding exhaust and was looking for recommendations! Does anyone have the RaceChip Tuner for the 2.0T? and if so do you consider it worth the money? Finally, can anyone link me to some QUALITY eBay parts for a front lip and rear diffuser? And side skirts haha thank you in advance!

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your new Stinger! What did the Stinger replace for you? I'm glad you found us.

I moved this topic into the Stinger Tuning forum as you're looking for go fast mods. The JB4 is a very well-liked product. You might want to look into that. I'm sure others will chime in.

I've got the same car with intake and a racechip. Power given by the racechip is surprisingly more than I thought it would be. Intake is also a must in this car but you'll also need a BOV since you will be creating more boost with the tune it is a good idea to be able to release that pressure rather than it go back into the intake. As for body mods, be careful with what you pick for a front lip because it is a different shape than the GT version and most places like Ebay and Amazon do not specify the difference.

I assumed this to be true till recently on another thread a gt owner showed pics of his repaired car that had the 2.0l bumper cover on it. it isn't a different outer dimensional shape, it just has different grilles and brake vents. For Sale - 2018 Kia stinger GT2 Rebuilt Title

The Racechip is pleasantly surprising. Not on the same level as the Jb4, but it's a simple tune to install and run, its safe, reliable, and makes good power.

Power wise the racechip is definitely a good choice to start off with. Id recommend a pedal tuner as well. It wont give you any power just quicker throttle response. The JB4 seems to be the go to with out a doubt. Lots of support and options with what you can do with it. An ecu tune is another option.
Exhaust is all personal preference on sound. In my case i took a flying leap and got lucky with being happy with the sound.
The front lip, the gt will fit just doesn't line up at the 2 points 100% on the 2.0. The lower section on the 2.0 is rounded a little more than the upper trims. The GT's have a more defined "point" in the center section.
Rear diffuser is a tough one. The 2.0 is different than the GT's. and i have not found one for our car.

As for the hp #'s. Best pull ive had on the dyno was 271.
