Anyone know what kind of difference and what I need to do to acomidate for boosting in a winter?? Do I need to run lower boost? If so how much?

the air will be more dense so you might make more boost...as long as you have tuning for it you should be ok...but to be safe you might want to turn the boost down

Errrrr.....

In general cooler air temps mean denser air and a cooler combustion chamber. Which means you could theoretically boost more if the engine is not experiencing pre-detonation. It's kind of like having a more efficient (sp) intercooler

So.... no you shouldn't have to lower the boost level.
