I'm in Mexico and have a slow (very!) internet connection so this will be brief. Just wanted to say that my experience in operating my 74 P337 parallels Kevin. I cruse at 27 and 2400 and burn right at 23 gal per hour. Climb is 31 and 2500 with 30 gal per hour. Temps stay ok. Take offs at full power. I hadn't considered upping the RPM to 2450 when above FL 180 but will try that on my way back across the Gulf.
And thanks, GMAS, for that explanation. Glad to know Skyking and I aren't the only ones with a carbon-turbo problem. Now I just hope my front turbo doesn't plug up when I go to take off from the island next week. That 2,000 ft strip on a hot day just doesn't look too good without a full boost on both engines! And the concrete wall at the end doesn't look too soft, either. But it's there, I suppose, to make sure I don't take out the local softball team which plays 50 feet from the end of the runway.
