The weather has been in the 30’s here in Pittsburgh for the past week. My car is loving the cold weather. I am running an 18psi tune with all quick adjustments set to max (2018 EX-T manual). I have 1st gear boost set to 16psi in BBG. I need to lower that as I have no traction at all in first at any speed. I need to lower 2nd gear boost also as full throttle in 2nd gear around 40mph is breaking the tires loose.

Amazing what this little engine can do with the KTuner.

One thing to also consider is backing down turbo responsiveness from Improved III to Improved II.

Winter tires will help too. The stock-all seasons are not good at anything, especially in the cold weather.
