Default Turbo Weather?

I just ran out to get some taco hell.

Anyway, it is cold as fuck outside. I most definately noticed a difference in building boost. (I keep an eye on the AVC-R display.) I don't usually hit full boost, (15psi) until 3rd gear. Tonight full boost was there in all 6 gears.

Fun.... Cold as hell outside, but fun.

Anyone else seeing a difference out there?

i know this isnt turbo, but this is the closest thing i have to it on my car.. i can tell a big difference with how much my CAI is helping ever since the temp. started to go down compared to how it was during the summer.

though i like the extra OOMPFFF...i had to cut my boost back a tad on my utec.

the weather changed from a steady 70~ degress to 35~degress here in blacksburg overnight. i spiked about a half psi over my target....so now i have to compensate a little. thank goodness all my maps a decent buffer zone to compansate for the altitude and weather.

you n/a guys will see a more noticeable effect from colder temps than the turbo guys. the turbo aka the great intake charge heater does a decent job at evening things out.

but as the temp drops, air is more dense... anyone have any clue on wether or not this would affect atmospheric pressure? i know barometric press. changes will yield power gains, but is baro the same thing as atmospheric?? hmm???

I don't quite understand this quote, you mean you don't see full boost until 3rd. Boost is not gear dependant, shouldn't you see full boost in every gear all the time.

Colder air is denser, it's that simple. Stop being a moron.
