    turbo help

    ok i never have learned much about turbos. can anyone recomend some good reading on it?

    also i was searching the forum and heard that the turbo manifold has to fit the turbo itself
    does that mean theres a specific manifold for each turbo or several different size manifolds for a lot of different turbos?

    This should be a good start:

    When people talk about race cars or high-performance cars, turbochargers usually come up, too. That's because turbochargers can boost a car's horsepower significantly without much effort.

    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

                Please post in the right section in the furture. This should be in the forced induction section..

                If you want to learn about turbo's and nitrous or basically forced induction in general. Search on the net and read many different informative websites that tell and explain how a turbo's work.
