What is the best fuel injector cleaner?

I want to get into the habit of doing a regular fuel cleaning service, what is the best product I could use? Liqui Moly makes one specifically formulated for GDIs which is what I was planning on using. I would really appreciate your insights!

Wireless CarPlay/Android adapters that actually work? 2016 Turbo

The market is _littered_ with adapters that claim to let you add wireless CarPlay/Android Auto to your stereo (if it already supports it, mine does and I use it wired) but a lot of these units are total shit. They range from $20 to $100+ and so far the Otto ones I've tried don't behave well at all. I can set up CarPlay on it but the dash just says "reading USB.." then stops, then tries again. Their support suggested a USB power inserter Y cable which I guess gives the adapter itself a little boost but my head unit does not care, same behavior.

Has anyone in the last year or two found one of these that are semi tolerable? I am getting tired of returning stuff. The last post about this a year or two ago just mentioned the USB dongles but no one said if they'd had luck with a particular brand.

Roof Rack 2019 Veloster turbo, Non N, Second Generation JS

Cheap universal roof rack actually works (for anyone on the fence)

Wanted to make this post because I was in this exact situation and couldn’t find solid info on what roof racks actually work for this car. Every time I found one, the reviews would make me second guess it.

So I said screw it and bought one of those cheap ~$78 universal roof racks off Amazon. You know the ones… all look the same, mixed reviews, some people saying they’re trash and flew off, others saying they’re great.

After actually using it, I can say they work way better than people give them credit for. Yeah, they’re not top-tier quality, but they absolutely get the job done. The people saying theirs flew off… that’s almost definitely user error. If you install it wrong, yeah, it’s gonna be a problem. But it extremely sturdy and gets the job done extremely well.

I will admit, setup is a little confusing at first, but there’s a good YouTube video that walks you through it and makes it pretty straightforward.

For reference, I ran two surfboards on it (one was 8 ft, so a lot of wind resistance). I drove 14 hours, hitting speeds up to ~90 mph at times, and the rack didn’t vibrate, didn’t loosen, didn’t shift at all.

As for noise, yeah you’ll hear wind, but it’s not from anything being loose or shaking. It’s just air hitting the rack. You can still have a normal conversation and listen to music without blasting it.

So yeah these universal racks work like a beauty.

Ordering through KDMTuners

Hey does anyone have any experience ordering through KDMtuners.com? I’m trying to get a pierce motorsports tubular crash bar through them (made to order?) and they told me it would be about 1-2weeks then I’d get a tracking number. It’s been a month and their last reply was 2 weeks ago. Does anyone have any experience ordering through this website? How long did your order take?
