Recently the metal-insulator Mott transition has been studied for a quasi-two-dimensional frustrated Hubbard model with next-nearest-neighbor hopping [Raczkowski, Assaad, PRL 109 (2012)]. Following up on this CDMFT study at finite temperatures, we analyze the crossover-driven Mott transition at zero temperature by means of variational cluster approximation (VCA). Here, we focus on coupling bath sites to the correlated sites of the reference system to carefully investigate the order of the transition. The effects of this extension on the phase diagram are studied and the insulator-metal transition is found to be of first order for large and intermediate inter-chain coupling strengths. This allows us to pursue the transition to small coupling strengths where remnant 1D effects like Umklapp scattering are expected to become important.
