4.0 out of 5 stars Good book leaving a few deatails sketchy, 4 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I purchased this book wanting to learn about Turbos. After I finished reading it I wish the book gave a little more info. How to control wastegates, turbo timers, and pop off valves. Also I little more info on converting a naturally aspirated engine to a Turbo would be a big help. Where boost guages should be located, vacuum lines be relocated, and a little more info on Fuel injection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of Turbos, despite being dated, 13 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This book is out of date! Many things have changed since 1984. A new revision is called for... Nonetheless, the book covers most subjects very well, although the technical detail drops sharply after the first chapter or two. Very valuable information about turbo sizing and matching, different configurations, bi- and tri- (yes) turbos, intercooling, aftercooling, water injection, oiling, exhaust... All this information is as relevant as ever. If only the technical detail have been kept throughout the book... As an American book, it uses the Imperial measurement system (CFM/PSI/CID etc.) exclusively! Metric favourites beware... A very good section in the end about problems and troubleshooting. If you're interested in turbos, go and buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good primer, 4 Jan 1997
By A Customer
Although published in 1984, this book thoroughly covers many of the basic concepts involved in turbocharger application. Anybody desiring an understanding of how turbo systems work and the dynamics of their components should consider this book a necessary addition to their library.

If you buy this book with the awareness that it will not make you an expert in turbos then you will not go far wrong. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Oldie but goodie - for hardcore fans
Last revision of this book was back at 1984, so it is not expected to be cutting-edge.
I doesn't disappoint though, the keen observer can find some interesting points that have... Read more
