Altitude and Octane

I have heard that, at higher altitudes you do not need to use as high of octane of fuel as recommended by manufacturer. I live at about 5000 ft.(Colorado plains) and was curious if it would be bad to put low octane fuel (about 84 or 87) in a turbocharged car.(blowing about 11psi)
Also if it is true that you can use lower octane the higher you go. Why?
thanks for the help
