With the guy SUB says going to ~230 whp, that's going to be pretty close to what the new DI goes stock. So part of the argument of (+60 whp for $2k) is going to be no longer, or less, valid.

Well from what I gathered from the basic knowledge Hyundai put a twin scroll turbocharger and a larger intercooler as the main reasons why it now develops 274hp. I'm therefore under the belief that the engine itself hasn't changed significantly (The 2.0T is still not DI; the V6 is though). This results in that the engine that will not see easy significant gains like the previous.
No no, I'm no superstar hahaha. It's was good, lots of fun things to get the hands dirty and boggle the mind!

Yes you misread my post. Re-read my comment: I figure they'll
achieve only slightly better outputs as the previous, so
gains aren't going to be as spectacular.
