Dave -- The analogy to altitude makes sense as a first order comparison.
(uhhh........ looking back here on the agony of undergraduate engineering
thermodynamics) Perhaps we're thinking of Death Valley or the Dead Sea.
Hmmmmm.......not sure I like that word "Death".
Looking a bit deeper aren't there 2nd order effects such as material
limitations in the exhaust that need to be compensated for by cam timing?
Or have we evolved the technology and designed ourselves beyond those
limitations?
BTW I have virtually no experience with turbocharging. Hoping to learn a
bit from this discussion.
