Larry: I hear you on the Density Altitude issue and can understand your point. I believe Turbo Charhers if used only to maintain sea level performance to altitude is a good use of the technology. Using it as performance booster at STP conditions could be detrimental to engine life which is OK if you understand and accept the cosequences of such use. One must also realize an accept that you are adding a complexity which can wander out of adjustment and be detrimental.
Understant you are at Reno-Stead 10 NW of Reno and I know Density Altitude is an issue to you backed in tight to the East face of the Sierras which has a rather steep topographic contour. Having lived in Sacramento and aware that it is 90 miles on I-80 to donner Summit but only 21 from there to Boomtown I can see your point particularly this time of year.
