I would suggest just using the stage 2 ktuner base tune for the peace of mind. You can get more aggressive but ehhh cvt is a cvt at the end of the day.Hello what is the maximum boost and the safest for the cvt.
What is your homemade tune
I really appreciate the information. Was a bit worried because I did the intercooler, cai, and inlet pipe install myself and those 3 projects were actually my first time doing something like that to a car. The inlet pipe install didnāt go as smoothly as expected which raised some concern from the little oil Iāve seen (at the same time not really knowing much about cars). Youāve put my mind at ease, but I will definitely monitor it.It isn't the Turbo Inlet that is a restriction. A simple drop-in high flow filter would provide plenty of volume and velocity (on the stock box). Your boost is being generated by "torque" targeting, so if you really want to make the best of the small snail then a free flowing DP would provide that. I am not taking away from the fact that the stock DP is fine in of itself; I am simply trying to supplement what you are trying to achieve.
Do understand that even with improved intercoolers and running the PSI you are on MAP 2 & 3 that once you get "off" of throttle your IAT2 will increase ever so slightly until you begin to ram another jet stream through it. As long as you are in boost the improved intercooler will keep temps better, it's when you get off (and idle or slow) and try to get back on that you have to wait for the increased temperature to dissipate. Just the nature of a very small turbo.
Keep in mind that the Si turbo does about 16-17% better at expelling exhaust gasses - that's why the Si is more responsive and capable of handling more PSI.
Also: If you want an optimum tune, then get with a reputable tuner and tune in for a Higher Octane (like 95Oct using some race fuel) if you want 1/4 mile times? With the stock turbo you won't achieve the balance of having the low/mid and high RPM power. You will need to settle of which set-up you prefer or get another turbo. But, if you are on a CVT I wouldn't suggest it - since that is yet an addt'l restriction.
I will admit, that adding an improved turbo would provide for better response and open up more RPM range - but, when it comes to tuning you won't take advantage of its full capability on a CVT. You would require less boost and run cooler and be more consistant. On demand power is always appreciated right? But, you have to decide the benefits over the cost.
normal its blow by; not the best but it'll happen.I really appreciate the information.

Welcome to the community! Congrats on grabbing life by the wrench and working on your car. Always adds a certain something each time you drive- "I did that." That's some engaged ownership. Props.I really appreciate the information.

Maximum boost depends on your setup. I have a 2016 CVT with an upgraded turbo, a custom tune alongwith all other bolt-ons. I can run 27 psi safely on E40, 24psi on E10 and 21 psi on pump gas. That being said you still have to be careful and keep an eye on all the parameters specifically your transmission temp and ECT.Hello what is the maximum boost and the safest for the cvt.
