    Default Does your Turbo love this weather?

    OK so last night I took the siggy out for a warm up and a run. It's only been doing short Journeys.

    I let it warm up (a lot!) and then unleashed the beast, bl00dy hell the turbo loves this crips cold weather.


    Anyone else noticed a difference?

    I have air leaking from somewhere, but it still loves it. Waiting for some warmer weather to get bumper off and get it fixed.

    All engines love cold air. The problem is getting the traction in this weather >.< especially on my cheap budget tyres lol

    I was lucky with traction last night, had a Mazda RX7 twin a few years ago, In this weather it would have been like trying to stear a giant saucepan on the roads.
