Turbocharging is the time-proven way to get more power out of an engine, especially smaller ones. With fuel prices increasing, its something more and more tuners need to know about. This is the book to turn to.

The definitive resource on turbocharging--from ignition to intercooler, exhaust to EMS--this book tells you all you need to know, whether youre planning a scratch-built turbo engine, converting a non-turbo motor, or troubleshooting OEM turbo equipment. There's even a chapter for turbocharging diesel engines.

Author Jeff Hartman offers thorough, clear, and useful information on every aspect of turbocharging. And, after discussing the components and processes in general terms, he presents a number of case studies that complete the picture, providing a real-world understanding of how these modifications actually work.

Well written explanations

This is an excellent source for Turbocharger information, It covers all aspects from history and manufacturing through modern OEM applications. It is written in an almost texbook like manner. The book also extensively covers custom applications and performance gains. It is fairly numbers heavy, and it helps to have a good base knowledge of engine dynamics. Some of the early chapters may seem confusing, however the author builds onto explanations as the book progresses.

Super Turbocharging Book

I recently read Jeff Hartman's book on Turbo charging titled "Turbocharging performance handbook", and I recommend this book to anyone wanting to build, own, or enjoy a boosted vehicle. As an individual working in the automotive area and using boosting devices I have found Jeff's detail and thoroughness informative and helpful in my development efforts. I have read most every book available and found this latest effort to be superior in readability, basic science, history, technology, and theory of engine boosting. The overall presentation is better then any I've seen and the science is top notch with useful and practical insight and "how to". A liberal assortment of project cars grounds Jeff's effort in reality.
This is a great book, I'd recommend to anyone with interest in vehicle performance beyond the mundane.

good but...

This is a good book but compared to the excellent work Mr.Hartman did in his previous EFI tuning book, this book is merely "good". I now own all the available turbo books sold here on amazon and this book ranks third on my list of useful turbo books. Second place goes to mark warners book and well well into the lead in 1st place is A. Graham Bell which so far as pretty pictures goes is terrible but the information in the book is SO comprehensive it includes everything from all the other books and then some. Hartmans book fails to address the million and one details that bells book covers and that is why it gets a 3rd place.
