Temperatures will make or break a turbo piston engine.
Turbo Inlet Temperature is important as well as avoiding rapid temperature changes. EGT is controlled by the mixture control so turbo inlet temperature is controlled by the mixture controller.
With large piston engines and CS propellers careful throttle and mixture control is required to attempt to make it to TBO.
