The teens is not uncommon.
Sometimes we can hit the low - but that is rare.

But with our wind and the windshere factor making it feel much lower that shat is cold enough for me haha.

It does suck, but I have to deal with it one way or another. A different route would be just to uninstall it (which I am for this winter)

I thought about the extra battery in the trunk, but didn't want the hassle of rigging it up, then having to charge it.

Why I wasn't told about this before is beyond me. My address is obviously in Alaska lulz

I'd sell the fker and use the money towards a roots or twin screw.

gonna have to eventually, either a E-Force of R2300.. at least with those, I can run a larger pulley and less boost during the winter (5 psi)for better driveability and safety. They say the TVS kits are okay in exteme weathers but still not 100%.


Only snows more than 20 inches a few times during winter, but most of the time its mild with a few days dipping into the deep negatives.. yeah, I hate it too but it comes with the territory living so far up north lulz
