I know some ppl with CVT are using trans coolers to turbo their cars..Does this really work in keeping cvt temps cooler? Can this be a solution for those with cvt to boost their cars safely? Is this wht ppl are talkin about when they say they beef up the trans?Don't know much about it just curious to see if this actually works?

No dude the transmission cooler will not help in boosting a CVT. It does help in keeping the Temp cooler, but DOES NOT help at all in avoiding problems with the CVT under boost. Main problems Blake and I had even after the cooler were the pressure control sylenoid and the torque converter. The CVT transmission is just CRAP plain and simple. I regret getting my car with CVT.

my transmission seems to "pop" after spirited driving. When i hear the popping noise and have my hand on the shifter, i can feel the pop actually happen. is this something i should be worried about? time for warranty work, what do you guys think?

I tell you what, after I blew my transmission the first time with the turbo and stripped it to take back to Nissan, they took my car in for a transmission swap no questions asked at 20k miles. They know its garbage, and chances are better than not you need a new one.
