Power output



Now that warm weather is here, I had a question. I do know that the spool
up characteristics of my turbo are different when compared to winter, but
at the same amt. of boost, will the engine make the same power. Question:
is the density of air at 1.8 bar @30 degrees the same as 80 degree air at
1.8 bar? I'm trying to ask if the turbo normalizes for temps. I figure
I'll lose a lot of pwer just due to peak boost falling off, but I have the
cockpit adjustable wastegate to bring up boost to higher levels.
