Stillen SC and snow

I have searched back and cant find anything on the subject of superchargers and snow. My lease is up on my G37x in March and I'm getting a 2014 Q60 AWD S. The dealer is installing a Stillen CB exhaust, sway bars, springs and Gen 3 cold air, after market rims and tires. I have the option of getting a super charger as well. I live in Ontario, Canada, we get a lot of snow. Anyone in the North have any experience with super chargers and snow? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

This thread should get you started.

The short answer is that superchargers tend to have the power come on more smoothly than turbochargers. Either of the above is perfectly controllable in adverse weather, throttle management is the key to driving in bad weather, regardless of where your power comes from.

Thank you, my major concern was getting clogged up, no longer a concern.

Are you in the GTA? There are good performance shops in the area which will be able to do all of those mods for a much better price than the stealership.
Might be worth shopping around.

In Ottawa. No doubt If I shopped I could save money however the dealer is my neighbor, I have an amazing relationship with them and its a right off.
