Question Turbo for a '13 LX-CVT

So I'm new to car mods and I was thinking of putting a turbo on my Accord. However, I do not know how to go about installing a turbo on a car with CVT. Are there any tips or advice you guys can give? And yes I know this is kinda ridiculous putting a turbo on such a car but i want to make my car a bit outrageous. Also are there any kits you guys would recommend?

My first thought is doubt about the CVT being able to handle it.

No specific information or experience, just caution about a type of transmission that hasn't been around for decades (yet).

Here is my standard advice for folks wanting to make power out of a car like the Accord. Don't!

The shredding of the CVT issue aside, it will cost you less and take a whole lot less time to simply sell your Accord and buy a faster car. Think about it this way, even if you can figure out how to reinforce the CVT (you cannot by the way), you need to figure between three and five thousand dollars to do a turbo build on your car, and then when the CVT grenades, you're going to spend that much again on a new transmission.
