the difference between 90* in summer, and -30* in winter, is perhaps 1.5lbs of boost for me.

I dont know how your seeing 4lbs....thats alot for only dropping down to 30*

i'd say innacurate gauge...i have the s3 pulley and i've never boosted that much and it's been almost the same weather in dallas and tyler.

something else is wrong with your car, sounds like a clogged cat. The cold air wont give you 4lbs of extra boost. I see maybe 1-1.5lbs of extra boost going from 80F to 0F. If your seeing that much extra boost, i would assume your guage is off or your having exhaust issues.

i live in Mn and the temp was 0. I left a thread on this a little while back. I have a stage 2 and max the psi at 15. In that nasty ass cold weather I maxed out about 16.5. It felt faster that is for sure. A 4 psi jump though is a lot. Something doesn't make sense here.

The most dramatic increase I saw with S2 in the cold weather was 2 psi, went from 15 to 17, so 4 psi sounds like a lot to me as well.

Bad gauge or reading it wrong . It gets way colder up here and ive never seen close to those numbers on a smaller pulley even .

x2 clogged cats can make you build bigger booste becuase the air is not going throw your exhaust its building up so all the back pressure
