Very good book!

Money well spent. Corky explains all aspects of turbocharging. Good high level theoretical treatment, and better yet, lots of practical information backed up by real life examples that test different turbo designs in different automobile types.


Best book on turbocharging I have read.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in turbocharging, both factory turbo cars and aftermarket kits on non turbo cars. It covers pretty much every aspect of turbocharging from manifold design, to turbo selection to fueling. I feel having read this book has better equipped me to work with turbochargers.


best book on turbos period!

I have this book as well as a few others on turbos and i would reccomend this over thenm anyday, it is very in depth and adresses all the issues in turbochargers. It is for the most part not boreing it is full of illustrations and pictures which adds up to one of the most thought out and relevant books ive ever read.

great book

This book is very well written. It handles a lot of the basic turbo knowledge that most enthusiast's need to know. What was dissapointing was that there is no real turbo sizing theory, fan blade effientcy equations or a lot of detail in a few other areas. None the less, the book is only about turbo systems and is the easiest to read. This is a great book to read. You may also want to get "Turbochargers" from Hugh MacInnes, it's also a must have, but is out of date and is not very useful on the modern EFI machines. I do like "Force Induction" by A. Graham Bell. A book that is much more knowlegable on the subject of performance turbos. It's always a good idea to get opinions of other great writers.

Corky Bell is definitely not a writer!

I have never written a review before, but, I couldn't pass this one up. This book provides lots of very important and pertinent information to turbocharge your car the right way. However, Corky IS NOT a writer. He seems to try and take a step-by-step approach to turbocharging, however, the information he presents seems to have no logical order to it whatsoever. I found myself having to reread most parts just to comprehend exactly what he is trying to say and the order to go about it. In addition, he put lots of unexplained and unreferenced photos throughout the whole book not giving any mention why they are. Some make sense, and others don't.

I found reading this book to be very painful. However, I plan to keep it strictly for reference material. Because, I figure if you get just one good piece of information from any book, it's worth keeping. I honestly don't want to go through the agony of reading the whole book again. A message to Corky: We need your brain for mechanical ability, focus on that, not writing. Please for the love of god, next time you write a book, hire a writer to do it for you!

Overall, I do have to say, the pain is worth it. Corky gives a lot of very good information to be used when you plan to turbocharge. You will just have to set aside proper grammar and unexplained photos to get through this one. Just focus on your long term goal and why you bought this book in the first place: to turbocharge your car.

I hope this helps!
