Old book but incredibly informative.

In the 3 hours I read this book I went from "what's a turbo" to a guy confident in adding a turbo to a car from scratch. It covers every aspect to adding a turbo to an engine. Everything you need to know is in this book EXCEPT for engine management tuning. That's a completely different subject...

Oldie but Goody

Hugh MacInnes was a first-rate automotive engineer and car guy who had "been there, done that" with turbochargers and turbo projects, and this book is packed with good stuff about all kinds of turbochargers and turbo engines. There is even interesting stuff in here about turbo aircraft,...

Really Outdated

This book is okay to buy if you plan on turbo charging a old carburated car. No info on fuel injection,or computer control. Actually the information given in the book is primative and was written before the first car that had even the most simple fuel injection. I would reccomend instead of...

The Turbocharger Bible

Very informative, very clear. The author is an excellent teacher and educator on this subject. No rash statements, just good solid theory with examples of actual functioning units. This should (IMHO) be the first turbo book that everyone should read before any others...It actually helps the...

Dry, boring, and outdated

If you bought an antique turbo and want to know everything about it, this is the book for you. If you have a newer car with a turbo, then pass this one over. It was a big disappointment. Why did I waste my money? Get Maximum Boost instead.

A disappointment

This book is great, filled with a ton of great info.... if your looking for state of the art in 1984. Throughout the book, the author gives examples of what is "state of the art"... almost 20 years ago.... most of which has been improved upon. If your just looking for concepts, then this book...

Explicit detail which include realistic examples

The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because I thought it could have used a bit more detail / examples regarding carb'd turbo applications.Formulas are well drawn out with easy to follow examples.A lot of real life experiences are shared.An update or additional series would be...

For Carbed cars only!

This book is not comprehensive whatsoever. It includes severe factual errors in regards to fuel injected cars as a result of being extremely outdated. Recommended solutions to issues when turbocharging fuel injected cars could be hazardous to your cars health. I suppose if you had a carburated...
