I bought it to research turboing my domestic, and have ended up reading it at least 1834738 times so far...
Lots of good info/theory...Although its a bit "dated"..

Great reading, went through it in 3 days. Definately provides the foundation for turbos, but some of that stuff doesn't seem to be entirely accurate for Hondas.

A very good book. In an area where there are very few good books, this book is really the best. Almost the bible.

Maximum Boost by Corky Bell.

I wish he would update it and add more on turbo sizing.

Helped me understand turbo systems a whole lot more. I already wrote to his publisher saying he should come out with a Max Boost II. I got mine from Barnes & Noble for around 30 bux
