Not exactly accurate. Low boost and proper turbo placement (think remot turbo) could be done and could possible yield acceptable results.rjdmmfl1 wrote:no, the CVT can't yet handle the turbo!

I could see maybe some overlays or something, but my parents would have laughed in my face if i had ever asked them for a present that cost thousands of dollars
not exactly... you're guessing... and guessing isn't gonna make someone happy after spendiong 6K on a turbo install from bad informationSentientbydesign wrote:

I'm not trying to get in an argument with you, but you're making assumptions regarding the reason why that CVT (the only one WE know of that's been turboed) died.rjdmmfl1 wrote:

as I said earlier, the CVT can't yet handle a turbo... at least not safely.. once the only known turboed CVT is back in commision, they will do testing to see what/if any setups allow use of a turbo in a CVT... this may include transmission coolers, turbo blankets, etc....I don't see how turbo placement is importance as the CVt takes up so much room in the A/C, there isn't much room left other than the space that's currently being used
I don't think there would be an issue here. The BOV is releasing excess boost because when you shift you want the engine to reduce revs to go into a higher gear and as such you want less boost.dimitrinassis001 wrote:Im wondering how would the blow off valve would work with the turbo. Usually the excess boost is released when u release the gas to shift in a manual car. Im not sure about auto trans but it must be way different with the cvt since the trans doesn't shift.....kinda. How does that work I mean will there be constant boost with the cvt cuz if so that must be killer.
Actually in most automatics the bov doesn't release pressure until you take your foot off the gas. The wastegate will continue to control your systems pressure until the throttle body gate closes causing the BOV to release all pressure.As far as wanting less boost when you shift? You don't want less, but when the turbine is being spooled by exhaust gases, letting off throttle will cause less pressure causing the turbine to slow. otherwise the pressure flow would harmfully be reversed back into your motor.Sentientbydesign wrote:I don't think there would be an issue here.
