turbo info
It is getting near the time to build an engine combo for the 94. Where do i start looking for info on turbos? I know very little about them, but it is time to start reading and getting acquanted with them. Any help would be welcome. Any specific books or websites would be nice . Not just the address of the local library ,please. Les :flag

Re: turbo info (Les 94 Comp Yellow)
"Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell, and "Turbochargers" by Hugh McInness will get you started and pointed in the right direction.
The key is identifying what your goals are, turbo sizing and everything else is derived off of how much power you want to make, where in the rpm range you want to make it, etc. Selecting the turbos themselves is the easy part...fabricating the headers, downpipes, intercooler and associated plumbing, along with all the ancillary items is the real challenge.
