I just moved from New York City to Colorado.

My house is now at an altitude of a little less than 8000 feet.

I notice that my TII now peaks around 10 lbs of boost instead of ~12 lbs.

Is this normal? Should I compensate by turning up my MBC?

the air is thinner in higher altitude. i would leave it at 10psi or even turn it down a little

Since the air is thinner at 8000 ft, I assume that's why it's not boosting as But since the mixture of gases is basically the same up here, if I turned up the MBC to compensate, I'm assuming that it wouldn't damage the engine--I should still get the same mixture of gases once I set it to the original boost pressure, no?

Yeah, everything should be ok.
