Yeah, I wantto actually write "Turbos for Dummies." Maximum Boost is a great book, but if you jump into it not knowing anything from the start... youll probibly still be lost.

I got most of my knowledge like that. I got the book because its supposed to be good. Id recomend reading it even if you do already know a lot. It helps to understand alot of little things, and gives you information about stuff you never thought about. BlahBlahBlah....

I think the greatest thing it taught me was how to read compressor maps. But you can just search the inet for that.
