We've had a piper Saratoga Turbo 1982 model, for about 6 months and love it. The one big concern keeping me up at night: it's oil temp is always at the top of the green arc, and pressure is always at the bottom. A&P doesn't seem too concerned about it because "it's in the green", but not by much. I've actually attached a picture. It went through annual like this too. The other weird thing is that the engine spits up anything over 9 quarts, but the stick only measures down to 8! Any clues or suggestions? How does your turbo run?
