I actually intend to turn down the boost in the snow for simple safety reasons. Very similar to driving any car in the winter… – Warm up the car properly, warm down if having boosted as well – Only boost when car is totally warmed up (turbo at operating temp) – Shift gently when car is cold – You WILL need winter tires – Weight in the rear DOES help, in virtually every way (adds traction from a stop and in turns too, providing you don’t create a silly amount of momentum) It’s all in how you drive it. All of my winter “issues” over the years that I can recall were “N/A 240sx” related - a tie rod end had play, a ball joint, starter motor began to tire out (all 3 fixed easily), and just door locks/cylinders HATE the cold… 😛 That’s all I can really think of… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ka-t/112822)._
