Woot! Man, I love my seven. Finally some cold air has hit my area and my t2 absolutely loved it today. I couldn't help but drive around unnecessarily just to hit boost.

That is all.

 

yep...its supposed to get down to 27 here in waco tonight...

 

I miss cold weather boosting.... and constantly watching the boost gauge for inevitable boost spiking.

 

Tell me about it... I think I got some boost spike and hit fuel cut the other night. I was getting on it pretty good and then suddenly my car just falls on its face and throws me forward.

 

why do you have fuel cut with AI and 1600 secondaries at 313whp?

guess if it were me i'd put the boost cut a few psi higher if the maps can handle it or turn the boost controller down for the cold weather.

my car just seems a bit more sporadic in cold weather, either feels normal or gets a huge rush of power and won't stay planted at 55mph with the 275's. i blame it on the rather tiny core saab mid mount intercooler.

 

I need to turn down the boost i think because I hit 15 or 16 psi and I am on stock intercooler. It has water injection but I would think 15 is still to high for a stocker.

 

it will just reduce efficiency in colder weather as a bottleneck, probably won't gain much by increasing the boost so i would lower the boost controller setting so you can still enjoy it.

 

Ok thanks for your help. The weird thing is that is the first time it has ever happened. I have drove the car in the cold a lot and it never happened.

 

10yearrx7, you should probably specify that we live in Southern CA so cold weather is 50 degrees F for us.

 

Haha seriously. It was tuned in 90 degree weather and it probably was about 50 degrees when that happened but from what I have read the haltech should compensate for temp changes.

 

Honestly considering moving to cali....

 

so the haltech is what is being used to control the boost controller? if it's an external boost controller then it won't, wasn't even aware that the ps1000 had an auto boost duty cycle adjust feature but i haven't paid attention to what features it had.

 

Convert your cars back to stock or keep it a sleeper. Notice I'm trying to buy a stock cat despite the fact that my car is already equipped with a main cat. We have some wildly BS car laws.

 

^ listen to him. Smog+cali= AHHHH!

I have a Haltech boost controller on the car. It isn't in the Haltech itself, it is a seperate piece.

 

that's good to know, since i'm getting tired of promoting the microtech which wants to remain in the stone ages.

 

I can't wait to get my studded snow tires on, and go hit boost for the first time in some giant parking lots when we're all snowed in. *Fingers crossed* Hopefully soon!!!
