Back to back problem in IST?
Question...
Flying LHR-IST tomorrow evening on BA. Arrive IST around 2330.
Flying back IST-LGW on TK Wednesday morning departure 0735.
Planning to spend my stopover on TK Lounge with no e-Visa (transit only).
Will I be okay with that length of stopover in terms of transiting?
BA won’t let me print boarding pass due to problem with my documents. Presumably lack of e-visa.
Anything to worry about?

It should be fairly well known that you can pay for a visa on arrival, and frankly this is the line you should stick to, if asked. There are other reasons why boarding pass printing hasn't happened so it may not be that. Moreover I don't actually think BA can tell if you have an e-visa, I don't think there's a data feed out on that one. Must say this seems a rather tedious way to spend a visit to an amazing city, but there you go!

I don't think so, but maybe print this out:
