Hey folks.

I go to school in Hamilton, NY (about an hour south of Syracuse) and we can get some brutal winters there. Snow just about every day and temperatures in the single digits often. No, I'm not asking if it would be safe to run around boosted in these conditions, but rather - is it safe for the supercharger head unit and all the piping to be exposed to this kind of harsh weather? I was thinking that the weather would do a number on the durability of the parts, especially since the car will likely be sitting under the cover for days (if not weeks) at a time. For this reason, I was thinking of going NO2 and taking out the bottle during the winter and only using in the late spring/summer season. Would this be my best bet or would a supercharger be fine in this kind of climate?

Thanks folks.

my car is intercooled and it doenst like the 30 degree and below days.
it doesnt go into boost at all.
as soon as i try to get into boost it starts surging bad. more like jerking.
kinda hard to describe
but if its in the 40's and above its fine.

You'll be fine as long as you stay out of it, unless you have a cold weather tune. It get's plenty warm under your hood.
