1. Before you release the brakeson your take off roll ensure you are getting boost ie. More than 30' MAP, if not then abort the take off.

2. On descent (for the circuit) reduce MAP by 1' per minute to gently cool the turbo (no shock cooling, they dont handle that well). Back to about 20' - 22' MAP usually for the circuit depending on weight. This requires a bit of forward planning in flight so think ahead of the aircraft.

3. Upon landing ensure a minimum of 3 minutes (5 preferably) to futher cool the turbo.

Beyond that its business as usual, all the same engine management points that you would normally use still apply.

I hope this helps mate, good luck.
