Took the car to Garage Auto Sports in Newmarket, Ontario. @GASBill and his crew have been taking care of my cars for the last 10 years.

They have a 4WD Mustang dyno so naturally we had to get some baseline runs & add a stage 1 flash. I went with Bill's custom tune, he knows I'm not easy on my cars so he makes sure they can take the abuse.
Garage Auto Sports been tuning Euro cars since 2015 and Bill has been tuning personally for about 10 years

I am very pleased with the numbers we have achieved so far. All runs were done on Esso 93 octane.
Met @Teddis through another forum and the coding fun began
Added mirror retract on Lock to MFD
Added performance pages * partially working (any 718 cayman guys will to try and help us figure out coding on this?)

I set off a check engine light and reduced power fault about a week ago when I was out for a late drive(2nd gear WOT, ambient Temps were around -25c).
Pulled over and a Restart cleared the reduced power fault but check engine light was on. I could also hear the turbo & DV noises coming from the passenger side(think big turbo car building boost sound) Took it to Bill at Garage Autosports and left it for an inspection
Here is what was found:

The air/oil separators drain into the passenger turbo inlet & due to my short drives and other snow activities there was a significant accumulation of snow, and frozen water(oil, fuel, water vapor). Drain line from Oil separators to the turbo inlet pipe was frozen solid.
Intercooler pipes where also disconnected from the core(hence increas turbo noise and also a burning oily smell in the cabin)
I left the car with at the shop so it could be thawed out and have all the ice build up removed at the ice. Once that was done, they built a catch can to hopefully prevent this from happening in the future. I asked for the can to be left with the raw uncoated finished.

Drain valve at the bottom. Eventually there will be a line that will exit out at the bottom of the front Fenderwell.
