Cross generator starts on PT6 powered KingAirs can cause the operating engine to exceed ITT limits. Our company procedure was to have the operating engine at High idle (70%) before attempting a start, and monitor the ITT of both engines during the start. Even at hi idle I've noticed a 50 Degree rise in ITT on the operating engine.

NB: you got to be thick skinned to post on Tech Log.
