Truth is, many turbo cars can induce an (unrelated) boost creep with the cold weather that will cause a fuel cut from the "better" air.
And you type like a 15 year old girl on FaceBook.

I am an engineer and you know nothing about my "mech know how". Thanks for the unrelated post though.

Boost creep is a function of wastegate design. If you are at the limit of the wastegate's ability to bypass exhaust during warm weather, it won't be able to bypass the additional exhaust during cold weather and the boost will creep. That leads to a dangerous lean condition, not a fuel cut.
