Maximum Boost: Designing, Testing, and Installing Turbocharger Systems (Engineering and Performance)

Great book for starter into performance mod's and even those experianced one's as well

I have read alot of technical literature, and this book covers all the bases pretty well for someone with some mechanical background, but no solid understanding of turbo system operation. It is a fun informative read!

Corky Bell is able to relay some very technical aspects of understanding turbo charged engines, in an easy to read and understand format. I highly recommend this to any one considering a turbo for their car, so you don't get lead astray with sales hype.

This book was an easy read and covers a wide variety of turbo configurations. The only problem with the book is that does not really get too in-depth in which setup is best, or alot of the theory behind designs. I would recommend it as a first read for anyone designing a turbo setup due to its ease of reading and being a general overview if you are not well-versed in turbocharged engines.

This book has all the information you need to learn from knowing absolutely nothing about turbo's and a little about engines... to becoming a professional after you complete your first turbo installation. there is tons of useful links for companies who sell the products mentioned in the book and this book goes over every application of turbos from small engines to large engines, there are formulas for everything and everything is in easy to understand and easily explained wording. EXCELLENT BOOK
