it sounds like someone probably put it into reverse while on the highway. my buddy did that to his, and i did it for fun to trash it when i got a sport tranny. ditto on the flywheel. fidanza is the brand to go with though. the gk also has a defective clutch. IT WILL GO. mine went at around 60k miles. centerforce makes great clutches. the shifting is tough but it is normal. you don't shift gears with that tranny. you basically have to shift out of a gear then into the next. the tolerances are alot finer than other hyundais so the system runs a little rougher until its warmed up. cai is good, dc headers are useless until you get a catback. ark n2 is the best for the time being, and has been for awhile. dc headers are the best, and have been for awhile. shark makes a big bore throttle body that you should look into and a larger intake manifold helps. your intake to exhaust path is only as efficient as the smallest part of the path.
heads up. the stock engine sucks for any kind of turbo tuning. YOU MUST UPGRADE THE INTERNALS FIRST. i have done a massive amount of engine upgrades and i know this from first hand experience. but, if you do blow your engine you can buy another online for about 550 at about 50k miles.
my sig can give you more ideas as far as tuning.
congrats on the car and the deal though.
