CVT vs. Manual Turbo Question [moved]
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..

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.
