Andrew 30 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 Welcome - Buy Maximum Boost by Corky Bell and learn it. As a general rule if you need how to ask how to turbo a car then you are not capable of doing it. Perhaps after you have read maximum boost you can ask more specific questions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) There is a newer book on turbocharging than corky's with alot of people on other forums of the opinion that corky's book although good for basics is now well out of date with current technology and developments/knowledge, and is in many areas wrong. It explains the basics in very easy to understand language though, and this is other peoples opinion, not mine - I am not qualified to comment. I have read some of Maximum Boost, but not these others that have been recommended: Forced Induction - Alexander Graham Bell (Not the telephone inventor). Turbochargers - Hugh MacAinnes Edit: P.S. Do you want mtech I or mtech II skirts for 2 or 4 door? I don't have any, but you need to specify. How much do you want to spend on lowering sprins? Do you want to "sack it out" or to lower it just enough to improve handling and looks? Edited July 19, 2007 by bravo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
