Automatic High Altitude Compensation

Because the ECM determines boost pressure using signal from intake air pressure sensor, there is automatic boost pressure control compensation when driving at altitude and in different temperatures. Engine power is not therefore noticeably affected by air density or temperature. When altitude exceed 2000 meter above sea level ECM cannot compensate boost pressure any further because the air is too thin.
