Turbo cars in winter......

I need some advice...I am thinking of buying a turbo charged CRX with a front mount intercooler and it is pretty low to the ground....Is it bad to drive it in the winter because of the intercooler and everything being so close to the ground, and if so, are there ways to make it better so that no snow, salt, dog sh*t..etc..go inside of it or whatnot?....lol

I guess a grille maybe? I dont think it would be a good idea in general....even with winter tires when you catch boost your gonna slide all over the place.

or buy my car for 600! haha mmm small turbo = big power nah jk


front mount and winter dont mix I would get a intercooler off a saab or a mazda mx6 or probe turbo and use that in the winter, thats what my friend uses on his isuzu stylus 1.8 L turbo

My car passed the e-test today, first try...........yay flying colors too!
