CVT vs. Manual Turbo Question [moved]

Hey, new to the site.. got a lot to learn too..
recently picked up a lancer de, automatic and im curious for opinions --- I want to turbo my car...are you for or against the idea ?.. reasons why plz..

I was thinking a very small turbo .. very low psi.. 2-5... and since its a CVT - a transmission oil cooler too... I could also just trade in for a 2.4l manual tranny GTS .. and drop the turbo into that.. plz let me know of any ideas, objections or well you get it... drop a line please.. Thanks..

Mods' note: Questions like this should go on their own new threads instead of other peoples' build threads. Moving discussion now.

Personally, I'd side with all the guys who say "run away! it's a trap!" to turboing a CVT. The CVT belts can't handle much power, and the gain would be very small. Pick up the manual version if you're going FI--more power, less headaches.
