Dezoris' Vortech sounded like absolute shit in the winter, but I'm convinced it had issues outside the norm. There are other Vortech owners here from the same location that didn't share his issues.

Turbo would be great in the cold temp. Could really tune it aggressively.

Below 40 degrees it sounds like grinding noise until it gets heat in it.
But I have 15k on the Vortech blower with 5 oil changes now including at least 5 track days worth of time on it, excluding autox.

I never started mine below 25F out of fear. I just drove my other cars. @DJCarbine started his below 0F and his survived but not sure what type of usage his car sees, as we stopped doing couples massages a few years back.

I'm not sure how/why people can say turbo is a better alternative in cold weather, has anyone heard or experienced boost creep/spike during cold weather? it's no fun

I vote for Rotrex SC kits (KW or JR) simply because boost is naturally limited by the pulley size so overboost is not an issue and they don't produce huge amount of TQs in low RPMs (meaning less load on our engines)..

I drove 6 days a week through the winter with 2 cold starts a day parked outside, pretty sure it saw -10F* for a week or so during a cold snap, and plenty of sub 25*F.

Just waited for the temp gauge to start moving, and kept it under 2500rpm until I was sure it was warmed up.... not that I could flog the car anyways due to lack of traction. Getting a saabaru as a winter beater, only because I need to be sure that I can get where I need to go when the weather gets cold/snowy. Lowered 1.5 inches and chicago snow do not mix, especially when you deal with unplowed streets sometimes

Also obligatory "You never had me, you never had your car!"

Additionally, the Rotrex fluid is still *in manufacturer specified operating temperature* at -40F/-40C. That's not a typo!

As soon as the USAF ordered me to Minot AFB I got the f*#< out of that assignment. Why not Minot? Seriously?
That was in 1977, when a fella named Jimmy Carter was running the country. I have visited the state of ND since but would never live there. Too cold in winter, too hot in summer.

As for the OPs car situation, I would invest in a bottom mount turbo system -AVO. The system will reach operating temps faster, can be tuned for all the power you desire (300whp), and is as reliable as any turbo system out there so far with the proper tune. Also stays cool in the heat of summer better than front and top mount turbo applications. You owe it to yourself to take a serious look at it.

I just may have to do more looking around. The vortech was always my first choice and if it can handle the cold then i still want it. Of course i wouldnt floor it without letting the car warm up, im just worried about reliability. Driving in the cold/snow has never been a issue. These cars with snow tires are awesome ! Drift alllll dayyyyyy
