Those two threads should point you in the right direction. I myself should probably pick up those books and read them. Good luck.

Buy "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell... it should be a required reading for this forum hahaha. It'll be the best $20 you ever spent on your turbo setup!!

look down under the maximum boost info and you'll see that they are selling both books for about 35 bucks.

just got the book last weekend. Got it for 25 bucks. Girlfriend got it for me since she works for a retail supplier. pretty good read so far. Gets a bit technical right off the bat.
I would love to know how many times that book has been mentioned on this site... SSU'S Vice Mod

I don't know how much cheaper you can buy those two books. I'd think that 35 bucks is a pretty good price.
like i said i can get them for 25-27 bucks but than i would have to ship them out to you guys which would be like another 3-5 bucks and not really worth the hastle to save a few bucks
yeah 
i guess i'll have to skip on the burgers this week so that i can pick some up!! Thanks again for the info, any know how you can get this book posted in the Turbo sticky?

I borrowed "Maximum Boost" from my school's library. It's a nice read, albeit a bit outdated. At least it has the basics down. Corky made sure that the reader would actually understand the concept of turbocharging, as most people don't care much about the analysis. My fluid mechanics book has some hardcore info about turbomachinery. It's nuts, but easy to understand and apply if you know how to manipulate the Reynolds transport equation.
