The TN maintains HP to altitude to give you a better TAS, maintains Sea Level Performance to Altitude hence "Turbo Normalizer"..
The M20 STC states to use the manufactures performance numbers for reference.
The M20 STC also tells you to change the timing from 25BTC to 22BTC which helps in protecting it from detonation and reduces HP a bit.
The M20 STC limits the takeoff power to 3 minutes to protect the engine from overboots, 30in mp 2700rpm.
If you are limited to 257RPM than you have the older version, "Turbo Bullet", 33in mp 2575rpm.
