Will my intercooler freeze up in the snow causing it to not suck all the air in??? Because its snowing right now and i was wondering if this is going to affect my performance

you're probably better off not driving fast in the snow. its slick sometimes.

The purpose of the IC is to cool the air so I think if is cold and you have snow in the IC it should be ok. but is always good to keep your IC as clean as possible.

I ran into this problem a while back where I had so much snow in the front of my car the whole hole was filled. This is good for the intercooler but I am not so sure about the radiator. I know that your fans come on and such but if there is snow blocking the IC then there is no air flowing through it and into the radiator. Probably not a big deal but its just a thought.

well there's air in an intercooler, you can't have frozen air, well you can but that's really extreme. Don't suck in no water hehe. Radiator is different you have liquid in it, so the water can freeze and block the flow of water going to your engine and you'll overheat the engine. Happened to my teachers jeep on time. So to make sure spray you radiator with warm water to tray and melt some of that ice. Heh put more antifreeze also hehe.
