Any Piaggio P180 Pilots? Need advice..

I just recently flew my 3rd flight as SIC in the P180 Avanti I. So far so good and I am thoroughly enjoying the plane.

One thing I am struggling with a little though is on takeoff as the PIC asks for "set power", I always seem to slightly over-torque either one or both engines briefly before bringing them back a little. They seem incredibly sensitive and while I DO try to slowly advance the power by taking my time, I am also conscious that we don't have endless amounts of runway so it is kind of important to get the power set sooner than later.

Our bird is a mid 90s built.

Basically looking for any tips on trying to better my power setting skills in this particular plane.

Thanks for the help!
