Default Boost Noobie

Hi guys i learned alot from reading the posts here on this board. Im currently have a 90 crx hf with a first gen b16. Few mods...AEM intake and an edelbrock im. Ive been thinking about boosting for a while but i wanna learn more about boost in general.

Where did you guys learn all the stuff you know about boost? I would hang out with my friends that were honda techs but im in the military now so im not home with my friends. Are there any good books? I ordered Maximum Boost by Corky Bell because i found that in a search..any other ideas?

You'll learn more on this board than you will from Corky IMO. Corky has some great information, but as far as usable info for the average guy, you'll learn more from reading boards and asking questions when you don't understand.

HT is different. We are generally helpful and informative. Just don't ask completely stupid questions, some people cannot control themselves.

Whatever, youll get flamed and ignored here too. lol
There is alot of knowledge to be found here. Read, read, read. Most of the questions you come up with now will probably have been answered. Search and read some more.
http://www.homemadeturbo.com also has some good info.

Hope I helped, im me if you have any more questions.

All you need to keep in mind when asking question is:

Make sure that you think about things before you ask them. You may not necessarily be able to figure out the answer, but it'll help.

Also, make sure you do not ask very basic questions that could be answered with Google or a simple search.

Read Maximum Boost, and you will learn a TON of basic information.

When you ask questions, be very clear and specific, and use good grammar.
