Based on the calculated loss of 0,17 bar or 2,46psi at 5000 ft, I would be safe to assume that my boost pressure will be between 4,0-4,5psi.

If it's closer to 4psi after dyno, we may contemplate a 92mm Which is normally a 7,5psi pulley at sea level.
92mm is the smallest pulley you can use with the VT blowers without changing belts and software.

Practical will be better than this speculation
Your drop will be the difference between barometric pressures. At 5000ft you should only loose .15 bar or approx 2psi. I know this from trial and error.
