The BHP is not the issue..... you don't want to be on the positive pressure
too long......so if your turbo engine can't handle the towing load in it's
naturally aspirated mode, you got problems, but if you can run 95%+ without
boost while towing, you are OK. The point is that automotive engines are
not designed to run continues boost for prolong period of times (q
included) and especially with heavy loads...
