See some smart talk flying back and forth here, but think maybe you guys shoot past eachother a little bit.
Engine = airpump (old snowest saying)
The M8 has 2 x 0,4 litre pumps that draw air into the engine. You put fuel to it, ignite it and go! The old story.
M10 same-same but different, bigger pumps. Both can be improved with porting/pipes/reeds etc. to become more efficient pumps.
These pumps use the aid of ambient pressure while the turboed pumps uses pressurized exhaust to propell an extra air pump, the turbocharger.
Now, the thing is you put together a package with turbo/porting/fuel/compression/cooling etc. to get max power AND full throttle survival, whatever that boost may read on a gauge.
At altitude you are doing the same!! Dont get caught up in numbers here and trust blindly your calculations, no dyno or puter ever won fairview or haydays. Right?
The wastegate is controlling how much boost is allowed and unles you tinker with it on your way up, it should not stop charging your intake before it feels the same pressure as it did at sealevel. What happens now is the air has gotten thinner, so to achieve the same boost the turbo must spin faster.
This comes with a power loss, big or small, and it may be big depending on your turbo. Finding the turbo that makes enough top-end hp whith little to no lag will most likely loose some efficiency when it has to compensate for high alt ambient pressure.
Shain: Go easy on Rydning here, he's not where you are yet Someday he ma take a leap of faith and throw the book away.
