What kind of losses can I expect in horsepower based on altitude? I'd be doing 
most of my flying around airports that are between 100-1000 MSL so I don't 
exactly need a turbo to help get off the ground. However, since this is a Cozy 
and it climbs quickly, it wouldn't be unusual to cruise between 8000-10000'. 
I'm debating whether a turbo would be beneficial, and if so how much.

Regards,
Chad
