eh... it was good for what it was. There is no other book out there that helps you understand the machanics of a turbocharger system better than this one. The con is that you will probably need to have taken a few classes in physics before you understand the explination of these concepts.

This book nicely blends Thermodynamic theory with practical application. It was easy to take the examples in the book & apply them to the turbocharged piston aircraft engines I work with. I'll continue to use this book as a reference.

The definitive guide to automotive turbo systems.

Has good beginner level performance do up guides if you're starting out with DIY racing performance and mechanical tuneups for drag or street use.

My favorite thing is the intelligent writing and snarky humor. Who would have expected that?
