Default SUMMERTIME BLUES

I'm operating one of the smaller turbines and ever since the heat and humidity has arrived the operation has become unreliable. The idle speed is all over the place and it shuts down when approaching full power. My buddy has the exact same setup and his has been going into "buzzbomb" mode , flames and all while flying at full power. There has been talk of compressor stall at high speed. What are we dealing with here and should I just put the plane away till fall??????????????? One frustrated jet jockey.....
