The biggest thing for you manual boost controll users or electronic for that matter as well is to monitor your boost. Colder air = Denser Air. If you are tuned for 19-20 and are seeing say 23....you had best turn that down a bit till lady spring rears her beautiful face on us once again.
those running mainly watter wetter or water make sure you switch to a more convential type of coolant mix.
I know you are all in a hurry to get to your destination but to those that are driving your evo's in the winter with built motors, make sure you let them warm up to operating temp before driving them.
its very healthy for the motor.
Other then snow tires and controlled drifting / donuts....I say simply enjoy your Evo
and PLEASE drive safe. way too many people I see wrecking these great cars needlessly
