Tell them to make a pressurized dyno chamber 
ALA Air Craft cabin.
BTW, for those who don't know. Turbo and Superchargers originated in aircraft for high altitude flying where they needed more power and couldn't get it via N/A. Quite frequently it was BOTH chargers on the same engine. Later, I think pre-WWII, auto nuts like ourselves, saw the potential of these for cars and grafted them on. And thus, the car versions came about They were a bit lost to people after WWII, but picked up again I think about the 1960s or 70s.
So while a Turbo WOULD help you high alt folks, it wouldn't get it's full potential as at sea level, but then again that's not exactly the point

N2o was used during World War II by Luftwaffe aircraft with the GM 1 system to boost the power output of aircraft engines. Originally meant to provide the Luftwaffe standard aircraft with superior high-altitude performance, technological considerations limited its use to extremely high altitudes. Accordingly, it was only used by specialized planes like high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, high-speed bombers and high-altitude interceptors.
