Default Newb to FI...So a newb question

I am adding a P1SC to my 99 T/A A4. I will be running a TR224-112, P&P 243s, LS6 intake and other stuff in my sig minus the wet kit.

Newb ? #1: I live at 5200'. How much boost is needed to compensate for my elevation to equal what my car would be N/A at sea level?

Thanks

Well if stock compression is 10.5:1.

10.5:1@5200'= 9.46:1
10.5-9.46=1.04(this is the easy answer)

The real answer is 1.45lbs of boost (with perfect conditions of course)
Here is a good calculator http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/compression.htm
