Interesting... does it get into the tech of turbos, etc.? I'd like to read up on the subject.

pdiggitydogg 03-13-2004 03:10 PM

its in-depth
Describes using one, what to expect, planning, how it works, what you need, etc
Very good book, worth every penny imo

Nice, thanks :)

man...how much does that thing costs

pdiggitydogg 03-13-2004 04:16 PM

$28.31 @ Amazon.com

My book is being borrowed so I cant tell you exactly what its supposed to go for (back of the book price)

damn Ill have to look for it, looks like good reading material

probably one of the best turbo book I've ever read. It actually covers everything..... It does start off from the basic and go in depth to learning to read compressor maps and calculating trims and flows versus HP goal. Even covered carburated turbo...... Good shit:yes: :thumbsup:

Late to the post (what can I say...in KC I've got dial-up)...but YES. That book is a fucking bible for turbos...everything from setups to maps. It's insane.

BTW Stefan...I refered someone over to your site...it's a long story how...but if someone who says they have an SiR hits you up with questions about Ground Control or Skunk2 coil-overs and Greddy exhaust, I want a finders fee. Lol.

I work for Borders so I get 33% off biotches. It's great...I only have to pick one day out of every 3 months to work (contingent status rules) and I get the same discount as everyone else.
