Default How does Elevation effect MAP?

How is elevation going to affect my MAP. When I am at like 50 ft. above sea level, the car can boost pretty high with just an SAFC, Missing Link, FMU and 440cc injectors , fuel pump, fuel setup without my ecu going crazy. Am I going to have more problems when I bring my car down to school where elevation is 1500-2000ft above sea level?

the turbo will have to work harder to compress the air since there is a greater difference between your target boost pressure and ambient air pressure. you might have slightly higher charge temps. probly wont be a big deal - depending on your fuel management
