Question for Pressurised Baron pilots

I'll take your work for it! Bizzare.

Mike,

******You are right of course but every pressurized airplane that I am
familiar
with uses air compressed by a turbocharger or turbine engine compressor
(pretty much the same thing.)******

I'm sure you are vaguely familiar with the King Air 90, A90, and B90. None
of these use bleed air for pressurization. They have a Roots supercharger
on
the left engine that supplies pressure for the cabin. Weird! Supposedly
the
FAA was concerned about bleed air into the cabin in early turboprops.

My P was serial TJ415.
Engines were Continental TSIO540WB; 325 HP. Earlier P's had slightly less
power.
Climb at 130 kts, 36", 2400 RPM, 1500-2000 f/m.
Service ceiling FL250, cruise at 245 kts with 33" and 2400 RPM with a 12,000
foot cabin.
With reserves two folks and baggage could do 4 hour legs.
I will never forget the first time into Jackson Hole.

I've been trying to find some info on this thing for quite a while now.
I've
been to Raytheon's site and found specs for the normal Baron only. If some
of you do own the P version, could you please tell me what engines do they
have? Are they the regular IO-550s or are they turbocharged? And what are
their pressurisation abilities and optimal cruise altitude?

Can't remember max diff. Around 4 psi as I recall.


That's right, 520 CID, I was too lazy to get the POH.
