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

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

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.
