Sane usage of the turbo modification once again is the answer. An exhaust temperature gauge should suffice. I believe there are methods to make the 616 a little powerhouse as well but they might be too much for the engine heat wise.

On the other hand a reasonable increase in the output is desired by many of us owners of the 616s. An added bonus is the fuel consumption may not drop. I doubt it would be worse driven in a similar fashion to without the turbo.

I am not a believer in a lot of things. although I do believe that running a turbo with very low fuel pressure would not be a good ideal . I also tend to believe it is not a good ideal even on a normal 616. Installation of a turbo lift pump is another thing that I suspect is beneficial. Or changing the spring in a 616 lift pump with the turbo lift pump type spring to up the supply source pressure. A boost gauge may also be a good ideal. None of the above need to be very expensive to achieve.
