    No problems yet for me in cold weather. I did have some last year, but that doesn't count...I doubt it had anything to do with the weather.

    Nothing cept some raised boost levels cause of the colder air and higher exhaust temperatures in extreme cold and me not allowing enough time for warm up. Besides those, nothing

    If you're having problems, sometimes the moisture in your gas tank will freeze and could clog fuel filter. Try putting "dry gas" or equivelant into the tank if the symptoms indicate rough performance.

    if you are lookin at logs you will see some leaning out due to boost creep.
    the colder charge and a restrictive wastegate could be your culprit

    Sorry, I should have clarified earlier that I'm still stock but am considering an AP. I was wanting to find out if anyone was having problems because MN gets a lot colder than most other places.
