I think Piper only lists Engine Power loss in the emergency procedures section for the turbo's Cherokees. They didn't get very specific about the possible cause of the loss though they did give a few hints about things like running a tank dry or having an air intake ice-up. I have no idea what...

Do what? practice turbo failure? pull the throttle back. Sure it's a guess about how it will perform with a real failure. Ya prolly want to pull manifold pressure below the current density altitude pressure. It's sorta like any engine failure practice, not perfect but ya get to practice figuring...

...and turbo supercharged differentiates from turbo normalized...which in the case of the TSIO-360 means 7.5:1 compression ratio for the -FB which I believe is in the Arrow. A turbo normalized engine can/will have a higher mechanical compression ratio.

Single engine, the TSIO-360 is 'interesting' over mountains. Practicing for turbo failure is rather eye opening. You really, really don't want to be heavy. Hope you get a choice in what valley you end up in and that there is an airport in that valley. Chose routes and altitude somewhat carefully...

yes

There is a Piper service bulletin to remove the "Turbo" lettering. Probably not relevant in this case but it is something to be aware of when dealing with fuelers. There are many wonderful, helpful folks at airports but it only takes one confused soul to ruin the day...

long chain HCs and that wonderful tetraethyl-lead or H2O, CO2, CO, various NOx, PBOx and fewer long chain HCs....hmmm.

Yeah but how long was Dougy on the Kessel run?
