Very Good Book

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2017

The book was written some time ago, but turbochargers and engines haven't changed that much to where it is obsolete or anything like I was reading in other critical reviews. This book plus YouTube can help you get the job done right if you know what you are actually doing. I don't think there would be any one source that would answer all you questions or solve all your problems for anything. What you need is a good no nonsense starter source so you can weed out the garbage when you continue your studies and work. This book easily accomplishes that goal.

I am in the middle of a vehicle build and am considering turbocharging an older, carburated engine from the 1960's. I had read that this book (writen in the 1980's) was the "bible" for creating a turbo system from scratch. Although the text and info is dated, it is perfect for my current circumstances

This book is a bit dated but there is still some good information inside. I liked Maximum boost much better.

Turbochargers HP49 & Street Turbocharging HP 1468 are both EXCELLENT books. They both were a lot of help in designing and building my turbocharging system. I would highly recommend both of these books!

I thought to book to be very informative but dated. A similar book with current subjects and or application to common cars of the last 20 years as opposed to the 20 before that. But again, a very thorough explanation of a turbos function and design and how to apply them to a project. This won't be the only book I buy on the subject but a good addition also because it provides some trouble shooting tips as well.
