TC,

Thanks. That's what I'm worried about. It only has an EGT gauge and
nothing to monitor CHT or TIT, etc.

Is there going to be problems getting parts for the turbo system ?

Honestly, have been out of the GA game for several years.
Historically, the exhaust components were available from Lycoming
(they are engine-specific, not airframe specific). Can't remember
having any issues finding an aircraft turbo overhauler that didn't
have the capabilities to do the turbo.

Also, bear in mind that unless things have changed, there is an
AD-mandated recurring 100 hr exhaust inspection (referencing a
Lycoming SB-499 I think). To do this inspection properly takes some
time, and will periodically require some on-condition parts
replacement.
