Call your tuner. Sounds like as the weather is getting colder you're having some diffculty with your tune. Was it street tuned or dyno tuned?

Are you datalogging? Please don't be one of those people that can only answer one question at a time.
If you're not getting any CELs chances are your tune needs a retune. Did you do anything prior to this happening?

No. I mean what range are the spark plugs? Are you new to turbocharged cars? Your plugs should not be looking like this if you got a real tune.
