yea there are a few guys that have been successful! IF your cvt has never bucked or acted strange and you are good on seals gaskets timing belt then go for it!
Alot of people say cvts or dangerous and will crap out. I have 167,000 miles and have not had a problem with my tranny ever! its all hit or miss but if u have no problems i say u should be okay to chip with stage 1 stage 1+ any higher and i would venture to say u are getting in the danger zone!

the manual boost controller will hurt the motor more then a chip. U better off getting stage 1 throwing in a k&n filter upgrade your dv and call it a day. the only harm the stage 1 would do it break a few vac lines. The motor can handle the tune its the tranny that you are going to be worried about.
