Fair enough then. The constant cheap shots about the GTI get old.Woof, calm down sparky! It was just a joke...
I don't have a 1.5T, I prefer 1.6, 1.8, and 5.0 Turbo's for now
This thread is about adding a turbo to the K20C2*, not the 1.5T.
*Edit: Put C1, was dumb, changed to C2
**Edit: I'd also like to know what knowledge you have that proves the CVT can't hold a 70+ hp increase. You're so quick to dismiss the intake gains yet are omniscient when it comes to the 1.5T CVT Limits?
Also, my assertion that the CVT can't handle much is, honestly, based on anecdotal evidence. Such as the majority of past Honda CVT being trouble prone, Civic9 CVT being weak. Also, Nissan 3.5 CVT dislikes significant power increases.
True, it's all anecdotal, but I am willing to bet against this CVT, the odds are on the side of my pessimism.
But no one has proven either way, right? Again, my money is against it.
That being said, I still honestly believe the 1.5T will be a fine mid-level motor to tune. Those who get the future 1.5T 6MT version will likely be very happy with it
