Books:

Turbochargers by Hughe MacInnes (It has a twin turbo SBC on the front, need I say more?!)

Maximum Boost by Corky Bell

I have both these books and read them from cover to cover. Great reading. I like MacInnes book better, but is outdated. MacInnes does give a lot of info on modding carbs for boost too. Bell's book is a big advertisement for his Aerocharger VATN turbo, but it also contains good info.

After you read these books, you will be addicted to turbochargers (I know I am!).
