Default Where did you read to learn about forced induction?

I want to learn as much as I can about anything to do with forced induction. Inparticular turbocharging. I'm not too interested in supercharging.
Where are some good sites to visit? Maybe some good videos? Yes, I could search and I have, I'm just curious where you guys have done some of your reading.
I've already watched the videos on here and read some of the FAQs here on forced induction. I've also read some of D-Series.org's FAQs. It's not that I haven't gotten good information, it's that I want more.
For videos, feel free to embed them directly into this thread.
Thanks!

FAQ is a good resource. I usually just check here and can find the majority of the answers I was needing.

Sa design books. Or at least I think that's the name. They have a really good book that covers all of the basics and goes into depth on a alot of subjects. Anything else that it didn't cover was at least mentioned and from there I just googled things I wanted to learn.

I read every FAQ on every forum that had a Forced Induction forum. Decided on a power goal and level of build and pretty much copied it.

After that. Kept on reading.

Two books by Corky Bell, Maximum Boost and Supercharged.

Both worth reading and covers a lot on theory and math on doing it right.

Helped me out tremendously.

[QUOTE=92cxyd;46959756]Corky Bell, Maximum Boost/QUOTE] x2. It's been a long time since I read it (I read it when I was first getting into cars), but it is a great resource.

its all math and science. time to get a good calculator lol.

i started off with maximum boost about 10 years ago. from there i hit the internet. i cant even begin to tell you how many nights i'd be up late just because i was in the middle of a good turbo read. iirc i found some good info on other car forums like dsm and some of the 3000gt pages. half of the pages i read probably arent even up anymore but it was helpful then. speaking of then, this was before this website went through its "transformation" to a new board. back then there was sooo much info and it wasnt flooded with noob questions just ranting without reading. **** i found this website in the summer of 02 and didnt need to join to make a post until feb 03 the search worked well and answered any question i might have
