Recommended Reading...
I just finished reading Maximum Boost and I am looking for more knowledge. I would like to read more books about designing automotive turbocharger systems and the required components. The more technical the better. On many occasions I felt that Corky Bell pulled his equations and theory out of thin air. I'd be interested in a book that explored, in detail, the mathematical and scientific proofs that support the statements made by Corky Bell.
I'm also very interested in heat exchanger theory and tech as well.
That this point your probably thinking, Why the hell does this guy want to read about this boring stuff?
I am a mechanical engineering major, all of this reading and research will culminate in my senior design thesis. The objective of the project is to extensively test the stock 1.8T vs. my mod'ed 1.8T. I will be performing tests and calculations similar to those outlined in ch.14 & ch.17 of Maximum Boost. I hope to obtain such data as, compressor efficiency, intercooler efficiency and various pressure ratios. If any of you have input on my project it would be greatly appreciated.

Forced Induction Performance Tuning, A. Graham Bell, Australian, 2002, Haynes
Check out the Amazon.com reviews for both books. Corky lives in Texas and Graham lives in New South Wales.
The Bosch handbooks are an excellent technical source as well.
