Exactly... basically you shouldn't lose any power at all with your car at altitude vs. sea level since you can adjust the amount of boost... you can turn it up to compensate for the loss of air and be back to exactly the same air density/pressure entering the engine as you would have at sea level. Mine on the other hand... even if I advance the timing to try to get some power back it will still never have the same power output as sea level.
