    i was wondering if any1 knows if they are making a turbo for the 4b12 2.4L engine in the 09 gts w/cvt trans ????

    all im reading about is for the 08 4b11 2.0L

    not yet. I know Extremeboost just finished their turbo for the 2.0 and RRM has both CVT and manual turbo. They should be working on the 2.4 now...but you'll have to wait longer for the CVT. Manual first then CVT. Thing is the market for the 2.4 may be limited because the DE and ES 09's have a 2.0 and all of the 08's have 2.0

    i'm pretty sure RRM said they will be working on the 2.4 after 2.0 CVT is done, so i'm sure they're working on it now...

    i appreciate that news i needed to get the cvt just in case my wifes car broke down and was hoping to be able to make some good power and styling upgrades later

    i dont know why the take off is so weak but after that its not too bad
    not a racer lol


    thanks

    i think maybe its because our cars are so heavy :hiding:

    heavy yes but not so much i believe its because it has 1st gear kinda weak ratio until the rpm gets higher hence no burn outs with the CVT

    Apparently i've read that RRM is waiting for a cvt guy to step up and offer their car as a mule. The 09 they have is a 5spd and not that i blame them but they don't want to have to buy a cvt just to test the turbo kit. If ur in their area u might give them a call and offer to let them try it on yours. I would but live in Chicago.

    Brian, did I read correctly that the shop car is the manual? What about us cvt guys that are married and couldn't get the 5spd? Got anything in the works for us yet?

    I would love to be the guy but unfortunately my ride and I reside in the beautiful yet very cold city of Chicago. Its a little too far to drop the car off and just grab a ride home.
