highly recommended

'Maximum Boost' gives these reasons and also exposes some of the false logics that you may have heard. It didn't just teach me about turbos, but a whole lot about modern engines in general.

At the end of the day, I feel alot more confident about designing a turbocharger system to fulfill my personal needs in a safe and reliable manner.

The only thing I would have added to this book (probably in one short chapter), is some more information on diesel engines. But for now I am satisfied.

Bottom line: If you are into high-performance autos, get this book. Get Maximum Boost.

A very good step by step guide for enthusiast.

This is a very easy to understand book. suited for the enthusiast not an engineer. The author takes the reedier through all the aspects of turbocharging, like selecting a turbocharger, types of intercoolers, exhaust manifold design, boost controllers, and so on. Seldom, theory is discussed in this book except in chapters 1 and 16. But be aware, this author for some reason wrote misleading sentences in this book that contain his opinion, not facts! Over all very good book.


Good introduction to turbos, some technical errors

If you want to learn the terminology of tubocharging and all of the complonent and how they work then this book is for you. After reading this book though you will not be able to install your own turbo system or anything as advanced as that, but you will be able to make a more educated buy on a turbo kit and at least KNOW what you're buying. Most of his explanations are good although he simplifies some technical subjects. For instance he says: make the opening of your air ducts one-fourth the size of your intercooler/radiator because at speed you only need one fourth the air. Ummmm...no that's not what a duct does. (It basically slows down the incoming air so less drag in produced, among other things...) All in all, if you want to learn about turbos then buy this book. It definitely increased my knowledge of the are ...

Everything a beginner needs to know about turbos and more

Very well presented, with good balance between theory and practice, a lot of photos and an easy to read style. The only MINUS of this book is that it says nothing about the turbo engine of the decade - the VW/Audi 1.8T motor. I would immediately buy a new edition, covering this topic.
