power loss at altitude

Naturaly apsirated cars lose +/- 18% power on the highveld. how much are Turbo's losing?

I think about between 8 and 10%....

Try 5% only..

Still a lot of KW's, if you have 170kw/380NM at JHB, then you will have +- 179kw/400NM at coast!!!!!

When I go down to the coast I will go do a dyno run there aswell and see...

Good idea Werner. U can definitely feel the extra power & responsiveness at sea level..

Might be a pointless mission, due to different dyno calibrations...

At the coast, The Clio's will give you a hard time bud

Also depends on whether the software on the car is self adaptive and changes accordingly.  My Coupe was like this and after a day when I got to Durban, felt a big difference in the power.

The Evo is tuned currently for the highveld so I actually feel the car runs better in JHB than at the coast.
