In the winter you have a colder reservior with which you are using as a heat exchanger. Thermal Energy flow from a hot reservior (compressed air from the turbo) to a cold reservior (the intercooler) is proportional to the temperature difference between the two reservoirs. To increase performance you should try too cool this intercooler as much as possible. The two best solutions I can think of are to (1) route your A/C hose around and through the intercooler to further cool the air and (2) remove the bumper, grill, and front panels and drive as fast as possible to force as much cold air as possible over the intercooler.
or you could send the money you'll be spending on something that won't improve your car's performance to the thousands of afghan children who will starve to death this winter.
