i Would like to know if there is a way to modify the installer and make it work on this mac beacause i want to experience the full tiger experience beacause on a VM, not all stuff works.
 
An early 2009 iMac came preinstalled with Leopard (10.5.6). I don't know of a work around to be able to install Tiger without using a VM.
 
I don't believe it will work, due to the 9400m GPU. Tiger will work on an early 2008 iMac, although it will have no sound without an external DAC.
 
Any particular reason why you're interested in Tiger, as opposed to Leopard?
