I wish we could make a stronger chain for the trans so I talked to the best in the U.S. and they say it is not worth it to make and very difficult. I tried for the sake of the CVT community.

the company that makes them arent really the best people to ask fyi.
i would say 7.5-8 for an experienced person with modding cars and has owned a turbo car before
for someone whos its their first car or first boosted car 8.5-9

No experience with CVt means no experience. I would not have ventured a guess until I did it! I am going say it is a 3-4 at low boost FROM REAL EXPEREINCE WITH MITSUBISHI LANCER CVT.

Just dont be an idiot, do not beat the crap out of the tranny. Yes there is a risk turboing the CVT, you cant really put a number on it because nobody knows how the next is driving it. If you turbo the car, do not beat up the tranny. If you dont know what im talking about then you probably shouldnt get a turbo if you have a CVT transmission. With any car you should try not to kill the tranny all the time, this isnt just for CVT :P
