Yeah I'm not sure if they were mistaken. But with turbocharging you typically won't lose power at altitude, and depending on the type of turbocharging taking place, might even gain a small amount of power.

I'm totally willing to admit if I'm wrong but that's what I've always read and heard when it comes to turbocharged motors.
