I am looking for response from anyone flying a turbo or turbo-normalized aircraft. Most of the engines have a max manifold pressure based on continuous ROP max power settings. Have any of you experimented with trying to attain high horsepower numbers on the lean side of peak? I am assuming that running 80-90% HP while LOP may in some cases require MP in excess if not over redline. I know of more than a few TAT modded Bonanzas that are regularly operated at 85-90% power with excellent CHT numbers, however it does require enough MP to get to 70 to 100LOP. I would ask that those of you that use the POH recipe please refrain judging those who operate outside those parameters. I'd like to focus on engine ops and theory, so please keep the "you'll shoot your eye out" comments to a minimum unless they're accompanied by data or experience.
