I'm amazed that it would only produce 2500 rpm. I would have thought
that without turbo it would have reverted to NA and sucking the air through
the intercooler would be rough equivalent of a moderately dirty air cleaner;
the turbo wheel back pressure (waste gate open) would be like fairly serious
muffler. The combination doesn't sound anything like 2500
rpm.
So there's something pretty significant that I'm missing .... Jim S.

When that close to the airport and something goes wrong, the smart thing
to do is to put it back down as soon as you can. Fix it on the ground
not in the air {:>). I am somewhat surprised that you could not get
more than 2500 - that prop must be producing lots of thrust (and engine
loading). Ed Ed Anderson

discovered what might be the solution for my rough / over rich running.
I clicked the overall mixture down a couple of notches in mode 3, and now
it starts right up first turn and runs much better.And,
for turbo people - I discovered a new, fairly benign, failure mode....What
happens when the intercooler air feed blows off at 300ft on climb out?
I can tell you. The engine runs at 2500 rpm and wont go any higher. You
level off at 400 ft, do a quick return to the field, cut off a Cherokee
on downwind, turn a tight base and dump her back down. No problem. Underware
intact. Gotta get a better fit for those turbo pipes!John
