Great book. It has helped me understand turbos a great deal more. Searching the internet for information is ok, but having it all in one book is very handy. (Plus you know its good information!) I highly recommend this to anybody who is thinking about getting into turbocharged vehicles or is just curious about them.

Wow! This is a powerful book for anyone who is interested in turbos or for those who are contemplating a turbo upgrade or tuning project. This book is an excellent primer for those who are new to turbocharging, as well as those who've been around them a while.
For myself, this book helped me immensely by being able to seperate fact from fiction about everything I've heard about turbos. Up until now, I've been building my questionable knowledge base on Porshce tuning web forums. The color pictures, diagrams, sidebars, and easily understandable explanations really convey the wealth of information this author has to offer. His ability to explain them to somebody without a highly technical background is first class.
I was starting a turbo tuning project on my Porsche 911 Turbo, when I found Mr. Miller's book on Amazon. No need to get any others. If you have turbo questions or are looking for help in matching a turbo charger to your car, and understanding the benefits and avoidable risks associated with turbocharging-this is the book you want.
