Turbos don't have that problem since you can just crank up the boost to compensate!

Just sayin'.

Ya, well I'm at 7000 ft above sea level, every 1000 feet u lose 3% power, and I'm sure it applies to turbos as well, less exhaust pressure is comming out.

You still lose power, but you can compensate by increasing the boost.

I live at 5600 feet and have a turbocharged car with an adjustable wastegate. Ask me how I know!

Car goes to sea level every day. I can tell a difference.

But it does suck to lose power in the altitude. Our Impala SS is noticeably weaker up at our house.
