Greetings!

I'm looking for an EMS solution to mainly avoid the dreaded fuel cut-off when it gets cold here in the Canadian winter. Is there one?
I'm not a tuner so a chip & go solution is best.

Greatly appreciated for your help in giving me some info.

My mods:

CustomMSP SMIC
Custom 2.5 in turboback exhaust
Samco hose
NGK BKR7EIX sparkplugs
8-9 PSI ($5 spring)

cheapest way is gonna be remove your $5 spring when winter comes around.

otherwise buy a unichip and run on low boost

I do remove the spring but it still hit the cut-off.
The SMIC & exhaust bring it up to 7psi and it's enough to hit the cut-off.

So a unichip does get rid of it then?

A DSM-AFC cured my car of fuel cut (which I was hitting at stock boost on cold days).

Like stated above, either Unichip, which is plug and play, or the DSM-AFC. Both have programmed maps in them you wont have to do alot of tuning.
