TK won't sell tickets for an immediate turnaround so you have to start a new ticket from the point of turnaround.
Online boarding passes might not be issued so that you need to pickup paper boarding pass at the checkin counter where they check your documents. Out of Egypt I never received an online BP and I read that it is the same for KWI. If you think you could get the ex-KWI BP already at IST - no way. Tried that with TK and was nog successful. they can't issue BP for departure at another airport except it's a followup flight on the same ticket.
Both BEY and KWI have two or more daily flights so I would never book a direct turnaround - i stay in Kuwait and CaIro for a "sightseeing day" to be on the safe side.
MEL, SYD should not be a problem. There you can generate an online BP 24 hours prior to departure and male an internationsl transit - still the ex Australia flight must be on a separate ticket as TK does not sell tickets with direct turnaround although MCT is no issue
