I want to learn more about turbo's!!!
Hello, I am new to the turbo thing, but it seems to be the way to go (very little parasitic drag). I have also heard that Vortech style superchargers make for a very unnatural powerband, (very little guts down low and blow the tires off up high)is this true? What do I do to learn more about turbo's?

Hey BOWTIROC. Run to the book store and pick up these two books:
"MAXIMUM BOOST" by Corky Bell
"TURBOCHARGERS" by Hugh MacInnes
These two books together will give you a GREAT understanding of turbochargers. I guarantee you wont be disappointed with either one of those books, and Corky Bell is hilarious! Especially when he disses Nissan!
I dont think you'll spend over 60 bucks for both books together.

Corky Bell is the man.
check out ebay, or amazon, some time they have it on auction. i bought my @ border, and it cost around $40. i can't put it down after i start reading it though.
