Book Reviews of the Maximum Boost: Designing, Testing, and Installing Turbocharger Systems (Engineering and Performance)
Customer Review: It's OK, but not too balanced
Summary: 4 Stars
After working through many of the formulas in this book, I wound up with performance numbers that didn't match the reality observed by other people with actual operating turbos. I guess that's what you get when the presented formulas are oversimplified. I found Joe Haile's Motorcycle Turbocharging ... book to be a much more balanced treatment of the subject, and the information isn't only applicable to motorcycles. On the upside, this book is certainly up-to-date and has some pretty good real-world examples of its own. It's clearly aimed at the person who wants to improve the performance of a daily-driver, as opposed to a car used for autocross, road racing, or other slightly more serious pursuits.
