I had an ecotec 2.2 [ not GDI ] that had the PCV port down low between the intake ports as mentioned in the article. Car went bye bye due to an accident with 231,000 miles on it. Burned a qt every 4,000 miles. I haven't experienced any problems with GM or GDi designs. Quality of some parts like GM timing chains is another story.
Your GDI is not exempt from buildup. Get that intake sprayed at-least. A can of CRC Intake Cleaner spray will keep your Hyundai running well.
