I'm interested in turbo charging my car, but I want to learn what everything does and how it works together before I go full out and turbo my car. So what are some good books that go indepth and really explain turbocharging?

Maximum Boost by Corky Bell, it's a really good book to read. Should run you about 25 bucks from amazon.com

the honda builders handbooks kinda go over turbo set ups. Unless you know a fair amount about that already don't get them, I suggest Corky Bel first and if you have a clear understanding skip honda builders. To be honest I was fairly disapointed in the two books, you can learn just as much by just sitting on the internet and reading technical sites.

There's way way too much good info to try and absorb in one sitting - it's absolutely worth buying, reading cover to cover slowly but surely, and keeping as a reference as well. I've heard that Corky has a new, equivalent book available on superchargers as well now.
