altitude and air temp?

Turbo cars are't affected by altitude as much.<ul><li><a href="http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/misc/altitude.html">http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/misc/altitude.html</a</li></ul>

turbos are not effected by altitude

or ask anyone that races a turbo car up there.

They are not at all. Ive been racing long enough to know. Across the country

So is that why all the records are set at tracks that are at sea level.

If they measure the difference between ambient air pressure and boost pressure, then the turbo will lose just as much at altitude as a normally aspirated car will.

If they reference and absolute pressure reading, then the turbo will tend to make as much power at altitude as at sea leverl, except that boost pressure is NOT the only answer, its mass air flow that means the most. Check your MAF readings at sea level and then at 5000 feet and see...

At WOT they are.
