Hi,

  When is the most optimum time to shut down turbo?  Or do you let it burn till meco?  Thanks!

I usually let it burn until the computer says to shut it down or it shuts the engines down
automatically. When not on Earth then it's anyone's guess. Just remember that it takes a lot more
fuel to run the turbo.
