At high elevation, NA is stuck with what it can suck, whereas FI can increase the boost (again air charge temp problem).
hmm interesting, I agree. though I don't agree with the larger intercooler as it can cause a pressure drop. You can't always go with a larger intercooler to offset temperature issues.
