Watson's "Turbocharging the Internal Combustion Engine"

[bowsercake]

I've been looking for this book online for some time and the only person I could find selling it is some guy on ebay/amazon who wants $995 for it (no joke). I checked my University's library today by chance and they had it in stock! It's very good so far, I've been reading it all day. It's the first time my college physics education has been useful. The only bad part is that the book was published in 1982 and has a focus on diesel engines. Has anyone read any newer books on Turbocharging petrol engines that are of the same caliber as Watson's book?

Also, if you know of a place to order this book please let me know since it is out of print and very hard to find. I may just end up photocopying all 600 pages if need be.

"Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell is another great read!

it sure is. dry, but good. I can only handle 25 pages at a time. it's like reading a textbook except more fun. It's sitting on my coffee table right now :)
