so i just got a little sri today, nothing fancy, ill post pics later, but i was wondering. is this a bad idea for any long trips to high altitudes? i live in san diego and im going to big bear for a snowboarding vacation with my dad for a week. its supposed to snow alot and im wondering if the altitude, thin air, snow and cold weather is gonna be a bad thing for the sri. i havent had any CEL's since i put it in so i guess thats good. any help is appreciated. thanks everyone.

Re: SRI problems in snow and high altitudes?

so i think ill leave it in then. what's a heat soak? is it cauz the sri is still close to the engine? also i just got a cel im wondering if its because i just put the new intake on the car, when should it go away because it came on about 11 miles after i installed the sri. its about the same setup as this: http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=135108.0
but i put a filter on the end of the breather hose. and here are some pics of the setup i have
