1.5T 10 Speed Swap for CVT...... Possible?

[hondanoob87]

What are your thoughts on getting our civic hatches with the cvt to run circles around a GTI? Is this possible? Only reason I would consider a trans swap. I don’t drive manual

With a flash +6 psi I imagine 0-60 times are low 6. I'm interested if it's affordable and doesn't compromise the chassis, doesn't seem likely. At least it's a smooth fairly responsive CVT, good city and great highway mileage. I don't want to risk ruining tranny/warranty issues for the sake of a negligible power boost. I was keeping up with a C300 today while holding back under 4000 revs.. but yes who wouldn't enjoy a bit more low/mid-end torque.

Drivers with CVTs who have flashed - is the difference noticeable, how is fuel economy, and have you noticed any issues - bouncing hanging revs tranny noises etc

I have the TSP tune and the difference is mind blowing even on Map 1
