I would love to know more about the airplane itself.

It just goes on and on doesn't it?? ...and the GTSIO-520 sounds great too.
You can hear alot of exhaust muffling common with all 'T' applications when something like a Cheiftain fly's overhead.

Lets not forget Lycoming's TIO-540 range of engines (T denotes Turbocharging, instead of Teledyne Contental's TS prefix.) Continental also have an engine called the GTSIO-520, used on the Cessna 421 Golden Eagle. The right hand engine in a Piper PA-31 Chieftain is the LTIO-540 (Left rotating- Turbocharged- Injected- Opposed). This allows it's engines & props to be contra-rotating.

And goes as far as
TSIO (turbosupercharged - injected - opposed) and IGSO (injected - geared - supercharged - opposed)
i don´t think that it´s a new engine! because you don`t get so high RPM at the first runup! ...

Well.. you do. Maybe you got the wrong impression because you're not used to hearing four-blade propellers.

I love the sound of the four blader on the 6 cylinder. Whats it like on takeoff? Do you find it produces more left turning tendency upon adding power?

Yes, you definitely have to use a lot of right foot pressure on take off.
