A: Low speed pre-ignition (LSPI) is more a phenomenon of engine design – and as you mentioned, occurs more frequently in gasoline direct injection (GDI) turbocharged engines. It is really a phenomenon for prototype or experimental engines that are still in the Research & Development phase, and oils with high levels of calcium-based detergents can increase LSPI frequency. HOWEVER, by the time the engine is fully designed and released to the market, it must be compatible with the available motor oils in the marketplace. Thus said, there is no need for concern.
There were some Veloster Turbo owners who had a bit of a different take on this.

LSPI may or may not be an issue with my FXT, but I will stick with (hopefully) low Ca M1 5W30 for the time being. I just hope it hasn't been significantly reformulated since the PQIA testing in 2013.

Yeah, i also did some re-reading on the Hyundai Forums today.
A couple +- Veloster Turbo owners (fist model year for the VT) advised of having the issue. No other years for that model or any other Hyundai or KIA turbos. I'll play it by ear... literally.
