Default question about boost

This may be a stupid question:

I assumed that if I had a turbo car at 6000 ft elevation and a manual boost controller set to 14 psi- that if I came down the sea level the car should boost more at the same setting on the mbc-- I mean we are talking 5000+ ft elevation change !!

So is my assumption correct?

I assume the boost will be the same but your a/f ratio will be different

Sounds right, but I'm no physicist.
Are you back yet? Or is that next week?

I'm in west texas. I don't think I will be able to make it to dallas tonight, been up since 4 am with 4 hours of sleep- flying and driving all day. In fact the only thing that is keeping me awake is rennlist from my blackberry- and I doubt I will have data service for much longer. I can't believe I have had it as much as I have !! There is NOTHING here !!
