Default Check This Out-about the science behind turbos!

I came across an informative article...ignore that it is a mustang website, the article is very informative, I'm sure all the stuff in Corky Bell's book...

Hey do you guys happen to have any recommendations on good books that cover turbos and other performance enhancing items?

What is the Bible/Koran of this stuff?

I read that book cover-to-cover.... it's a good read on the basic science of turbo chargers, but it is very outdated in my opinion...

A little out dated but certainly a must read for anyone planning to go F/I.
