Run in stock mode?
If I want to run in stock mode for the winter, what do I need to do? Select zero on utec, change back to stock injectors? Any thing else? Thanks in advance.

Guessing you're N/A? I was tuned in warm weather as well and ran all last winter (blizzard) in Colorado w/o any problems. If you're really nervous get a second tune. Depending on your mods you might do more damage running the factory ECU vs current tune.

Why don't you just run some logs and tweak the map/tune yourself? Not hard to do + there's lots of good info over in the tuning forum.
But since you're TT, I would imagine the wastegates would keep the boost where it is supposed to be (according to spring tension) regardless of ambient temps?

Sure - There's slots for different maps. They don't all have to be temp related maps though... You could have a race gas map, a street map, a drag strip map, an auto-x map, a run-from-the-cops map (JK), etc...
Utec can compensate for temps through the whole spectrum of ambient temps... It's not a map setting, but rather a "global parameters setting". Although you "could" tune for different ambient temps and save those off as separate maps.
UTEC's global parameter temp compensation feature doesn't have enough resolution for my liking, so I just manually tweak my map when the season changes.

Thanks everyone, I will check to make sure the temp compensation feature is on. She sure runs nice in these cooler temps.
Anything else to check on or look for?
