turbo for a daily driver and cold temps
Looking for you guys out there that daily drive your turbo set up. What turbo did you use and how many miles on it. And the kicker, anyone using said set up in cold winter temps? Thanks fellas.

I daily drive my STS turbo T/A, using a STS kit with a garret .67, the turbo has seen over 4K with me and more than that with it's previous owner. I wish I knew what cold winter temps feel like LoL, here in South FL, we are lucky just to see one day of the year that temps dip into the 30's. No winter temps with my turbo here.

Why be worried . There are millions of factory turbo vehicles in diesel trucks and all sorts of turbo cars and they are mostly run thruout the year. No worries ,just more traction problems..hope you have traction control. Big turbo cars are a real handful on cold roads. I don't winter drive my rides in the sig but have winter driven some of my pretty hopped up talons.

This is why I threw in a Ball Bearing turbo. I was thinking the BB housing will be more forgiving to cold start up issues. Yes, the car will **** alot of people off, and it will be running snows and about 3800 lbs in the winter. A nice set of 18's in the summer. I guess I could limit the boost in the winter to compensate for the traction issues. I am not looking for big numbers out of this car as it will be a daily driver but I wanted a lttle more on tap than a N/A set up.
