I saw 0.9 bar on the digital boost gauge at the end of 1st gear this morning on my drive into work! During the summer, I usually only see 0.7 bar near redline in 1st. I just wanted to share.

Colder, denser air creates more powerful combustion, and in turn more power. Cold air is our friend!

tsky is infamous around these parts
I was thinking the same thing this morning. It's been (relatively) chilly here in the Bay Area and I was driving early this a.m. I wasn't paying attention to the boost but, wow, was it running strong.
