Default slower spool at cold temperatures?

i was at the friday night test and tune where the temps were around 40*F, it felt like it was taking longer than normal for the turbo to spool up and get to full boost. i also noticed that i didnt chirp the 1-2 shift. was it too cold? i always thought that colder air is better, but is there a temp limit where it is too cold that it hurts spool up time? lemme know, thanks.

Default Re: slower spool at cold temperatures? (cornhusker)

i dont think it would make the spool that much slower but the performance of the turbo is controlled by how hot the exust is that goes into the turbine but i find it hard to belive that cold temp would make that big of a difference
