there are no problems
you have to remember the R&D for the kit was done just across the boarder in Michigan. Purrybonker who lives in calgary and can be found on Calgaryfocus.com had his all last winter with no issues.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RUN THICKER OIL!
that is a STUPID idea, btw!
thicker oil becomes even thicker in the cold.
heavy weight oil turns to honey in cold temps which means it flows like crap and you do not get any lube to your bearings.

anyone who puts "thicker" oil into a car in the winter, i hate to say it, is an absolute moron! might as well run the car without oil untill it starts to warm up!
Stupid, stupid idea!
don't believe me, go buy 1L of 5w30 1L of 15w40 and 1L of 20w50
stick it in the freezer for one hour and then try and pour them back into the bottle... which one flows better?



with any form of boost it is a good idea to let the car warm up before you start to drive it or at the very least before you get on boost.
while you should stay away from extended idle periods, waiting till the car is starting warm up is a good idea
block heaters in the winter are also a good idea
oil heaters in the winter are also a good idea.

not just on boosted cars but any cars.
they are not needed but any way you can keep the oil warm and fluid and the coolant warm is nothing but good for any engine!
