The PT6s I've flown have no DEC, they just start cooler and with more inertia than most.

Turbine engines have a governor which controls engine and rotor RPM. There may be some droop if you pull lots of collective quickly, but the rpm recovers quickly, typically within 3 seconds or less. Like a Ronco machine, you set it and forget it.
