Easy fix young fella, you get a big ol' dirty oily rag, and take off your intake pipe, and force the rag down the front of your turbo. Then tape it up, to make sure none of that cold air gets in.

^^ Depends if it's front mount or not. I know the drivers side vent on mine would, if not blocked off, soak the afm.

We've got some comidians here, well when ever I was my car, without a doubt my belts get wet and squils, and I don't even aim the hose at the bonnent vents

if u look into my bonnet vents ull spot my pod filter, so tell me if that's healthy for the car in winter??
