Understanding turbo language??

[GSEclipse620]

Howdy everybody, A few months ago I found a great thread that thouroly explain all of the turbocharger jargon crap that I'm pretty sure most of you out there have no idea about. You know, like all the AR.48,, 50 trim/60 trim, flow maps and all of other stuff. I've looked extensivally for this thread but can't find it anywhere again! I would love to read up on it. So if anybody knows of this and can post a link, or another thread/FAQ that has all of this info it would be appriecated and I'm sure that there are at least a few others out there that wouldn't mind coming accross this information again. Thanks gang!

Maximum Boost by author Corky Bell. An older book but it will get you well on the way to knowing just about everything you ever need to know about turbo's. Speaking of, I wonder where in the hell my copy of that book got to.

It's a good book, I've read it like 10 times. It's definitely worth the money.

Turbo Tech 101, 102, 103 from Garret's website is very informative too. http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/tech_center/tech_center.html
