Yes, it is recommended for the NA  IO-550 when the OAT is high.

Do you recommend this for the IO550 also? I have been using low boost. I do not have engine cooling issues.

Question: is it a reasonable practice to use the high boost for engine cooling? How long can it run in high boost without getting damaged?


We recommend using high boost on each climb through 10k.  Leave the boost pump on for AT LEAST 30 minutes after reaching cruise until the fuel in the tanks has a chance to cool.  It will not hurt the pump as they are designed to run continuously.
