Summary: street turbocharging
Comment: Nice informative book on turbocharging. Helpfull to anyone from the novice to the more experienced car entusiast.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best $20 I've spent on my car.
Comment: You can either learn turbocharging by doing little research and doing it yourself and making expensive mistakes or you can buy this book for $20 and save yourself the time and money and know the information. Turbocharging a modern higher compression engine requires abundant knowledge of turbo systems, or mistakes can really cost you. Excellent book, geared more towards imports, you really feel comfortable turbocharging just about any car after having read it.

Summary: Good allround learning book
Comment: I got this book to learn more than just the basic "what is a turbocharger" and was definitely satisfied. I didn't need it but the book pics you up at the very bottom of the learning curve and takes you over basics into the more meaty stuff and all the way into fairly advanced engineering and formulas. All in an easy to understand format and language, that admittedly has its annoying moments from time to time. Anyway, if you drop out at the formula level, no problem, it's there for those who want to calculate their own best setup. Something that can also be accomplished by calling tech support at the manufacturers and turbo specialty shops where you are going to buy your stuff. I also like that it successfully covers both the import crowd as well as domestic V8 without preference for one or the other. The math and theory is all the same and the book ends on build examples on Hondas, Supras, Mustangs etc. Definitely a 4 star book.

Summary: The best Turbo book the average tuner can buy.
Comment: Mr Warner has written a very good, thorough and educational Turbocharging book here.
It is based entirely on facts and is written in a concise, logical order covering all of the topics detailed in the content description. It is also worded very well and moves along at a good pace...you'll enjoy the read.
This is not only a 'this is how a turbo works...this is how to bolt one on.' style book. It far surpasses the C. Bell book detailing turbo theory, ECU fueling and ignition and all of the extra components and theory behind them and how they all affect each other also.
You don't just get 'what' is done, you get 'how' and 'why' as well, taking the blinders off the reader to form their own ideas of how to go about their own turbo system design on any given application.
4/5 Stars only because there are a couple of typos, one where one line of an equation doesn't follow on from the preceding one...
Otherwise, you won't buy a better Turbocharging book at the moment.

Summary: Why you still haven't bought it?
Comment: Surprisingly, some of readers have found this book useless. Don't believe them. It's the excellent addition to A. Bell's "Forced Induction ..." and much more informative than Corky Bell's "Maximum Boost". Trio "Bell, Bell and Warner" allows you to build by yourself not just operable, but durable and powerful engine which will gladden you on the street. Undoubtedly, this edition is "must have"-grade for everyone in turbo-theme and its price is laughable comparing its knowledge value. Thank you, Mark...
