I was going to make similar post. The power difference is scary. Between the added HP and the lower traction of cold tires I have to remind myself to be careful with the gas pedal when I'm close to other cars or curbs. The rear end will step out in the blink of an eye.

Amplified by cold roads with a little less traction makes it feel like you have even more power

I'm so pissed off that I'm missing this weather because of a few check valves that are on back order. This is how she sits in the garage

im not nearly as "boosted" as most of you here. I just have a 1.0 from Marksi and an exhaust from Sambott, but I sure can notice the difference with the drop in temps.

It's the only reason I look forward to the cold wx.

There's been some discussion in the past about sturdier replacement check valves, if the factory is having issues with back orders that might be worth looking into.

I too love the weather, temp drop across the intercooler even in just normal driving is to watch -27 or more degrees. Looking forward to running a standalone and being able to even more closely monitor things but at the rate things are going for the car ahead of me there could be snow by the time my car comes home

What's the temp have to be to notice a difference. Does moisture play a factor as well?
