Navajo / Chieftain in skydiving? Seriously?

One for all PA31 drivers and skydiving pilots out there that operate this aircraft. How dont you cook the turbos on a 30 minute turn around. This has been bugging me for days!

Im not trying to be a smartarse, im actually interested to see how you stop the turbos making that shocking little ping, crackle, ping, crackle, hand over your wallet, sound.

I know basically how other aircraft are operated in this capacity but was wondering with my limited turbo experience, how you took care of them with such rapid changes in temp and speed.

Any power settings and or techniques would be helpful to soothe my brain because it sounds like either you are playing with death via the a/c owner or you are some of the most talented guys out there.
