Took the Torque out for a spin today.  Good news and bad news.  The good news is great!  My 0-60 MPH is now 4.9 (at 40 degrees temp.) The bad news is that I am only registering 12psi boost.  Scratching my head on that one. Does boost go down in colder weather because the air is more compressed (cooler) to begin with?  IDK.  I put in a call for Anthony.

I believe that boost output is based on engine load. So temp will have an impact on how much boost you see.

When you shut off the heat in the winter you need to drain the water pipes so they don't freeze and burst.

Takes about 2-3 hrs.  I have to remove all solonoids from Dishwasher, Refrigerator etc and shake water out of them, as well as drain all lines that have any water in them,  (appliances and all toilets, faucets etc.) then I have to blow the overhead lines out with air compressor so any water in copper pipes is pretty much out.  Otherwise they would freeze and burst.  Blew out about 3 gal of water from softener and drain all water out of water heater.   Use about 2 gal of anti-freeze ( car type - full strength) in all the drains. couple cups in each.  A plumber would charge me at least $300. plus materials.  And... probably make a mistake.

Several years ago we used to leave heat on, but furnace blower motor failed when it was 20 below and we had ice in toilets and about ten split pipes.  Took the Furnace repair man 4 hrs to get water turned off at our outside shutoff as the neighbor had piled 4 ft of snow and ice on top of it.
Then in spring, it took me a day to fix and solder all the copper connections.

No, sorry I don't.  This is all I could find on their site.  Keep an eye out.  It was pretty good.
