Turbo chargers also aren't effected by altitude as much and will still hit preset boost setting even at a mile high while the SC being dependant on the engine speed will be directly affected since the engine can't breathe in as much air it won't make the same boost at higher altitudes.

Turbochargers on a typical street car lose only about a half second from their sea level times while an SC car will lose about the full second the same way an NA car does.

Turbochargers aren't limited by engine speed which makes a big diff on highend horsepower.
