Engine stabilisation times

Folks, currently flying the Dash 8 Q400 which is equipped with the ever faithful Pratt and Whitney PW150's (or at least they have been for me!)

Recently, we introduced single engine taxi both before take off and after landing.

Several colleagues have commented that we don't have a defined stabilisation time for the second engine. If the first officer is particularly keen, we can be setting the power for take-off just about less than 2 mins than post start #1.

Other manufactures publish specific stabilisation times before take-off power should be set, yet for the PW150's I have not found anything.

2 Minutes used to be quoted by some RR old school Trent's.. Any ideas?
