Question: Turbo books (not Callaway specific )

[Jeroenvgfn]

I want to get some advanced Turbocharger knowledge.

Was considering to buy some books.
Anyone who has some lecture and can give comments.

I started reading : Maximum Boost by Corky Bell.
( when you like a copy to read I can upload it in PDF to my website )

examples I think are interesting :

Turbochargers from Hugh Mac Innes

Forced Induction from Graham A Bell

Turbos & Blowers from Joe pettitt

Surpercharged from Corky Bell

Turbo & Superchargers A Comprehensive Guide to Forced Induction from Julian Edgars

Tuning of High-Performance Street Turbocharger Systems (Paperback)
by Mark Warner
-Forced Induction Performance Tuning A Practical Guide to
Supercharging and Turbocharging by A.Bell

and few that I forget.

Dollar is low now so books are cheap.

Turbo and High Tech performance magazine used to have a "Club" newsletter back in the 80s/90s and was awesome!

Full of great tech stuff!

Well, it depends how technical background you have. I have mechanical engineering background so all the books that I have found are more of basic stuff.

Also browse theturboforums.com (ex turbomustangs.com) and speedtalk.com

forums, there have good info there also. Happy hunting.

I have a Logistics degree but already 15 years into Turbo's
started with a Renault 5 and it took me about a mix of 6 engines and turbo's to achieve the maximum reachable power.

I will check out these forums you mentioned, altough
