I'll pull off the ram-air snorkel to warm up the intake air, at least for winter. The computer's reaction to excessive intake or exhaust temperatures is to cool the system with extra fuel. Better than cooking the turbos, I guess, but it's kind of disconcerting to see the single-digit mpg numbers when it's making boost. Better aerodynamics should help it stay out of this range by reducing engine load.
