Claim One:
1. A physical computer-readable medium comprising a set of code segments to be executed by computing components to forecast the ability of the turbocharger to achieve a turbocharger air specification according to measured turbocharger performance data, the physical computer-readable medium comprising: a code segment configured to retrieve a user-specified plurality of ambient temperatures; a code segment configured to retrieve a user-specified plurality of future times; a code segment configured to determine a forecasted compressor air flow rate for each ambient temperature and future time combination by extrapolating the forecasted compressor air flow rate from the measured turbocharger performance data; and a code segment configured to determine whether the turbocharger satisfies the turbocharger air specification at each ambient temperature and future time combination based at least partly on the forecasted compressor air flow rate at each ambient temperature and future time combination.
