It all comes down to how the power is applied. The cvt wont have the shear amount of torque that a manual will have especially down low but it has a pretty nice linear power curve. If you look at my custom tune on the dyno it's a nice and smooth curve. So the car continues to pull all the way through.
One thing that the cvt has is the fact that due to no "gears" you dont lose boost per "shift".
For a 300whp or less setup, i honestly think the CVT is better. If you aim for 350+ then go with the 6mt.
