Yes you can turbo for $4k cdn.
Turbo doesnt care about temp outside, if cold outside, before a drive, just let it warm up a bit more than usual.
Winter tires will be a good investment.

Do you have some problem with your motor after installing your turbo. At 5.5 psi it sure ... my friend think that i can put 8 psi of it motor and is will be safe (i'am not sure).

Thank for all your comments

8psi is a pretty safe amount of boost on a stock motor, depending on how u drive it.

hey skip, you and boiler should run each other sometime
