This is a very nice technical book explaining all about forced induction using turbo. It covers every single element of the turbo charger, explained with high resolution photos and understandable language. As an addition the book shows how to rebuild failed turbo charger in great detail and also guiding you in choosing the right intercooler(aftercooler), Blow Off Valve, Waste Gate, Boost controller even which clamps are better in order to build the most reliable setup.

From the Publisher
Turbochargers are incredibly appealing to performance enthusiasts because of their ability to add free horsepower - and lots of it - to almost any engine or vehicle. Today, it seems easier than ever for the average gearhead to harness the incredible power-building capability of turbochargers. Unfortunately, this wealth of options and opinions can be hard to understand and navigate.
That's where Turbo: Real World High-Performance Turbocharger Systems comes in. This book is the most complete, detailed, up-to-date resource on anything and everything to do with turbochargers. Whether you're running gas or diesel, 4, 6, 8, or more cylinders, this book will teach you to design, test, install, and maintain your high-performance turbo system. You'll learn how turbochargers work, how to choose the right turbo or turbos for your engine by reading flow maps, and how to tune your engine to run perfectly with your turbo system.

Anatomy of a TurbochargerThe full-bladed compressor wheel means that all compressor wheel blades are full length rising from the max wheel diameter all the way to the inducer or inlet diameter of the wheel. (Courtesy Diesel Injection Service Company, Inc.) |
Design & Install a Turbo SystemWhen routing the oil inlet and drain lines, be sure to follow the 20-degree rule. Imagine a centerline that would pass through the oil inlet and drain. This line, when compared with a vertical line, should not form an angle of more than 20 degrees. (Courtesy Honeywell Turbo Technologies) |
Build Your Engine for a TurbochargerThis is a sectioned JE competition piston used by Dan Strezo. Note the thick crown (1) like in the factory turbo piston, the similar dished top (2), and also note what’s called a reverse dome (3) for added strength where valve relief is machined for high-lift cams used in competition. |

Tuning Your Turbo EngineAn integral-wastegate turbocharger illustrates how engine exhaust gas energy bypasses the turbine wheel through the wastegate orifice and dumps directly into the exhaust. This minimizes exhaust back pressure and the corresponding pumping losses. (Courtesy Honeywell Turbo Technologies) |
Turbo Maintenance and RebuildingIf your turbine housing looks like this one, spray a liberal amount of penetrating oil onto the turbine housing bolts. Be cautious, as well-used turbos will commonly break-off bolts in the turbine housing, especially in agricultural and construction applications. (Courtesy Diesel Injection Service Company, Inc.) |
Failure Analysis and TroubleshootingThis turbine failure was caused by excessive heat where turbine material fragments were literally thrown off at extremely high rotational speed under extreme temperatures. Note the discoloration and look of the burned blade tips. (Courtesy Honeywell Turbo Technologies) |
