The flight portion of my BFRs have focused on basic maneuvers, stalls,
slow flight, steep turns, and landings.

These procedures pretty much dictate the engines will go through many
high/low power cycles... Not the best for a turbo'd engine.

If I was you, I would rent a single for the day.

As a CFI I would not sign a guy off in a single for a BFR if I know
his daily flying is a turbo twin. However, we could probably do the
flight review in the twin without putting too much stress on his
engines. Or, he could rent a twin.

You're the CFI, so you can sign off whatever you want, but that doesn't make
sense to me. If a guy who flies B-747's for a living can get his tailwheel
endorsement and have that count as a BFR, I don't see why anyone would draw
a line in the sand as you describe... I don't think that is what the FAA
intended when they created the BFR...

A guess who flys 747's for a living doesn't require a BFR endorsement
but a biannual CFI ride in the tailwheel isn't a bad idea if he flys
tailwheels.
