Looking for a Turbo Book

After yet again being amazed at a turbo FB ride (cough cough sam) I have been pondering getting a turbo for my car. I just ordered this book

http://www.amazon.com/Street-Turboch...2111455&sr=1-1

and hopefully that will answer some of my questions. Mainly, I want to know how it works, what I need, measurements, etc. If anyone else has any information or ideas on good books, let me know!

read Maximum Boost by Corky Bell before you read any other book.

I have that book - and it's pretty good.
But like it has been said already - Maximum Boost by Corky Bell is
by far a great source of informacion. And should be 1 of 2 books that
you absolutely MUST read before even thinking about turbocharging anything.



I also recommend "Turbochargers" by Hugh MacInnes, as another
great read.
