Then is there a fault in the engine design of Hyundai? If that is so, then there should be more than 1 Hyundai turbo that should have gone kaput by now. Turbo failures are more of the users fault than the engine. Drivers who keep the engine running while idling, causing the turbo to overheat, using the wrong oil, inadequate warm ups, overextending oil changes etc. Garrett has a trouble shooting guide. Have a look at it.
