16v turbo kits recommendations?

[soltwede@privateI.com (Night Shadow)]

If you live at altitude (above 5000 ft) don't bother with a super...its
static spin rate means it loses the same power at altitude that a NA car
does.  A turbo will spin faster at high altitude cause of the thin air,
and still make the boost it was designed for....where as a super looses
boost as you gain alitiude....

I live in Colorado, where superchargers are scarce and turbo charged cars
fly by everybody....can we say %20 loss in power at altitude on NA and
Supercharged cars?
