Do I need to adjust my UTEC to compensate for the temperature change?

I guess I should turn my boost down a little bit. But anything else to adjust?

thanks

unless you are running pretty agressive tuning your map should work fine in winter. Maybe add some fuel to match the cold air density, but that should be all you really need.

Correct. Reliable warm weather maps should work just fine, even in extreme cold Alaska winter temps. The only winter cold weather issue I have run into is an occassional tank of obviously lower octane (crapo California winter blend fuel). The quick fix solution has simply been to lower the spray-on point, and raise the max line pressure of the alcohol injection a tad to make sure everything remains knock free. Then, all is good in really cold temps...not to worry.
