Default MMMM, turbocharging ... Corky Bell is the man.

Yup, my copy of Corky Bell's Turbocharging book just came in today. Time for some serious reading and researching ... then it'll be time for speed after we build our own turbo system =).

LOL! You guys, um, ''concern'' me

Don't read it once and say you're done with it either. Would you read the entire encyclopedia brittanica and then say *I know it all!*? wink Read it now, read it again later, and refer back later when you're trying to figure out a problem.

This isn't a novel, it's a textbook smile.gif

Agreed. I reread it every time I go to install or buy another component. Its only then I figure out that I remembered something wrong, or missed some minute detail.

Great reference, and the installation/design section is great for the DIY'ers.

I got the maxium boost book, I found particular lacking in my question. Most of what he covers in the book I knew of.

It seems like a great book for someone who does not know anything about a turbo. But you can find the same information picking through articles online. which happen to be what I did before I got the book.

But for the masses, they probably need this book. I consider myself a special case smile.gif
