Is 21psi basemap safe on the CVT with CAI+DP+FP+Catback+Intercooler?

This is the setup I'm in the middle of building. I know the basemaps are safe and these are simple bolt ons but most discussions are about the 6MT and I understand the CVT has much more stringent limitations, especially with torque. This is my daily that I plan to keep for a long time and I don't want to push things to the limit. It's probably fine but just wanted second opinions?

The same thing applies to the CVTs. All exhaust modifications are supported. Intakes that aren't properly sized may throw off fueling and require custom tuning.

The intake I'm getting is a "street" version with the same size MAF so I should be ok in that regard. These mods won't add too much torque for long term reliability of the CVT will it?

So a couple of things. Running a Ktuner basemap, the power output should be no real issue for the CVT. But, with the bolt ons you are adding, a custom tune would be an even safer route. You can have your tuner "fine tune" the power band to protect the CVT. What you need to avoid is a custom tune designed to extract as much power as possible. That, combined with abuse, is where most of the failures have happened.

For the most part, our tuning reliability survey backs this up.

So just to be clear, I don't necessarily need a custom tune, the basemaps should be fine? But a custom tune would be safer still? I'm thinking now of only getting the CAI and catted dp/fp.

There are many with those modifications that have put a lot of mileage on these tunes. See the reliability thread for an idea!
