Why would you adjust it for cold weather? Cold=dense air= less PSI. You don't have to adjust it to compensate you should be putting down the same power if not more when it's colder...

So what you're saying is it supplies more or less fuel in cold or hot weather? I'm confused. Would it deliver less fuel due to a denser air charge? I.E. lower PSI than on a 70° day

That's weird so it's different than me with a small turbo I guess that's why I confused myself. Cold day hits 15 psi. Warm goes to 18-19

And you see lower boost pressures in colder weather, not higher. The example is backwards. You don't need to adjust your boost controller for colder weather to benefit from it. Just tune your car in warmer weather and it'll adjust accordingly. Fueling should be the same as X psi in cold weather (lower) is essentially the same as Y psi (higher) in warmer weather.
I think you see like 1-2% power gains for every 10-15 drop in temperature. It's pretty negligible but you everything feels smoother.

Yeah I think nick had that controller and had odd issues with it. It's better than a manual boost controller though lol. The eBoost one is the way to go.
