Ok so I'm planning to install a CAI soon. However I live in Canada and we have some pretty cold winters. I know we are approaching summer so this is not a problem now, but will my car run bad next winter with a CAI installed? Any suggestions besides moving to a warmer climate

It'll be fine. I know it's not as cold as Canada, but I drove my mustang on zero degree (F) days during a couple winters and it was fine.

Hahaha Makes Sense. By the way. if someone knows a place on the net to make a custom CAI with pics, let me know. I know theres a good detailed version in the tech sticky, but I need photos. I know its degrading on my part I grew up to comic books not novels

Pictures are worth a 30 pack in Beer man. I am about to make one for my N/A that I can use when I swap in the 2.3T later.
