Can anyone reccomend a good book or website to learn a lot about performance turbo setups and how to tune them. Tips, tricks, how to's, ect would be great. I have some common knowledge on how everything works but am looking for some real in depth reading material.

This site has a lot of information on it. Nothing beats the experiance you will get working on your car. Is there something specific you want to know?

basically just want to know...what the safc is good for. I'm going to be boosting to 7-10 psi.. i got more info in my pf, I have 310 Injectors coming right now. My friend runs that and he does 15 pounds on a safc, the max i wanna do is like 15 pounds. think the safc is good enough for that? I got a really hi tech a/f gauge, Can be hooked up through a notebook. What good can come from that just wondering , I'm new to turbo so please excuse any dumb questions.
Thanks

Safc can handle that. Is it a gauge that has a sensor or just wiring? If it has a sensor it will be a good tool for tuning. If it has just wires it is pretty much just a light show.

yeah this is no cheap gauge, payed 540.00 for it. Not an ebay item eather.. I found this this is the same thing but i bought dirrectly from retailer. I had a a/f gauge. it wasnt a wideband and did the light show. Thanks for the info
