This is what I've learned as well. A smooth and steady application of power works very well, and I've gotten quite used to it myself. It's a bit different trying to teach students who've never flown in a turbocharged aircraft and are used to jamming the throttle to the wall on a go-around or stall recovery, etc. It's also different because the Turbo Seminole does not have automatic waste gates, so you have to watch the students like a hawk so they don't try to blow up the engines on a go-around. At about 1200 ft. density altitude, (approx. alt of our airport), redline manifold pressure is maybe 1/3 to 1/2 forward on the throttle quadrant.
