You've probably heard that a forced induction system is one way to get more power and performance out of your engine. And that is correct. But where do you begin? The Street Turbocharging: Design, Installation, Tuning book is the answer to all your forced induction and/or turbocharger related questions, whether you're a pro or just an enthusiast. And part of the answer is that you can design, build, then install, test and tune a turbocharged vehicle, for street or racing. This DIY guide will show you how, step-by-step. Street Turbocharging offers both theory and practical hands-on advice, with detailed steps and techniques explained in easy-to-understand language. Add to that close to 500 detailed photos and illustrations, and you get a clear picture of what's involved. This how-to book includes,
