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

This book has everything you'll ever need to know about putting a turbo on ANYTHING. Best of all, the book is written in plain English that anyone can read (as long as you can read English). You don't need a Phd in rocket science to turbo your family car; you just need this book, some money, and a set of wrenches!

This book is a little dated, but still has lots of important information about turbo charging. Very informative and easy to read. Makes you want to turbo charge your car!

Focuses mainly on do's and don't of kit installation.

Has good info on basic turbo setup and intercooler selection. Would have been nice if the book contained more info on custom manufacturing of intercoolers and exhaust manifolds (forming end tanks and size to exhaust velocity vs tube type exhaust and construction). As well as selecting the correct BOV.

Overall, great information for beginning turbo quester and a recommended read.

A good book, that provides alot of usefull information, and interresting reading.
If you are considering fitting a turbo to your car, this book is a good place to start...
It covers the "design" aspect of turbo charging an engine more then the actually " building".
Note: several capters are more or less a "copy/paste" from the authours own book about "supercharging".

great book in overall theory. truly helped with the design of my engine that i'm building.
