Effects of elevation on the turbo

I'm still trying to figure out why I'm having turbo surge problems all of a sudden, but I think elevation could be a factor. I've moved from NC which was 15ft above sea level to now TN where I'm sitting at 1350ft above sea level. That's a big difference...probably enough to cause surge issues that haven't been experienced before?

I dont see that elevation being an issue at all. But its possible.. are you towing heavy? Get a wicked wheel and be done with it.
