The TurboGrafx isn't as cleaning intensive as a NES, but the hucard slot should be cleaned every few years. Skinny Gameboy and Sega cleaning cards from old Doc's and Eliminator cleaning kits work well.
Hucard converters need to be cleaned much more often than consoles.
Store hucard converters in a case or ziplock bag.
Cover consoles when not in use.
Remove all of the shrinkwrap from opened boxes or it will warp the box.
Store flash cards in pcmcia cases.
Buttons wear out. Don't store controllers with weight on them or depressed buttons. Don't clean controller rubber with alcohol or solvents.
Shipping games in an envelope or bubble mailer? Put a little bit of bubblewrap between the game and manual in the center of the case to reduce the likelihood of cracks.
After beating the game, write down passwords for Ys 1-2, Ys 3, and Order of the Griffon to save memory space and prevent accidental erasure.
Terraforming, Sherlock 2, Macross 2036 and a number of other "Super CD" games are regular CD-ROM2's. Look them up on pcecp.com (if it comes back online).
Put down the laptop, close that FAQ, and cheat the old fashioned way - five hint books were published with Turbografx content: TurboGrafx-16 and TurboExpress Secrets by Rusel DeMaria and Andy Eddy (Prima), TurboGrafx-16 and TurboExpress Secrets vol 2 by Andy Eddy and Donn Nauert, The Official TurboGrafx-16 Game Encyclopedia by Corey Sandler and Tom Badgett (Bantam), The Ultimate Hint Book (only 7 pages on the TG) by Leo Pond (Ultimate Game Club), and Jeff Rovin's How to Win at Sega & Genesis Games (15 pages).
Different controllers have different rates of fire on their turbo functions. For example, Raiden benefits from the faster RoF on the Turbostick.
