I thought toronto and that area was suppose to get like 30cm of snow. I think we got hit harder here in Bruce county. I'll have to take a picture of the snow we have in the morning. I bet we got somewhere between 12 and 18 inches.

yup.
WRX+winter tires is absolutely awesome.
although 19psi is a bit much for snowy roads even with AWD, so i have to keep my foot out of the throttle a bit, haha...

yeah, yesterday i actually hit 22psi @ 2500 rpm in 5th, i guess because of the cold air outside, haha.

it's still the stock turbo though (TD04). i have not got it dynoed, but based off the MAF grams/sec, my tuner tells me between 220 and 240 whp.
good enough for now...especially in winter. but possible turbo upgrade in the future. don't want to go too crazy, it is my DD.
