Have a neighbour took his turbo 80 series to the snow (Thredbo) last weekend. The vehicle had been recently tuned and set up at The 'Gong (sea level). He commented that it performed like a slug up in the mountains, but was OK when he got back home.
Would the altitude (I'm suggesting atmospheric pressure) have any effect on the boost of the turbo?? I understand they are set up at about 0.5 ATM (whatever that is in bars??).
