tuners in winter

jamstoyz · #1 (**permalink**) 12-23-2009, 07:11 PM

do any of you take your tuners out in the cold winter months? i heard it was not good for the turbos. anyway, i took mine out and returned to stock and now it runs worse. takes longer to heat up, doesnt want to shift gears, and sputters and blows blue smoke. whats your thoughts on this?

i feel like mine starts better on my 140hp tune then it does on my 80hp. im curious as to other opinions on this.

When I put mine back to stock it does the same thing jamz toys so I just leave it turned up and take it easy

I just let it get good and warm before I bang on it. I'll leave it on whatever tune I want

wonder why that is? i was told it will soot up your turbo more with the tune in the cold and make it stick.
