Has anyone read "Maximun Boost"?

I know most of you must be somewhat familiar with this book by Corky Bell. I was just wondering how many of you have read it and how it has helped you?

im in the middle of the book now...if you havent read it read it...it makes you think about things somewhat differently and may teach hou something you didnt know......or alot of things you didnt know

yeah I have it and Ive read it a couple times, I flip through it all the time... it helped with the formulas and whatnot as far as picking compressor trims, and it had a lot of basic info in there that I think would be valuable to a lot of people. ...but the book is kinda dated. It was written about 7 years ago, and while that isnt exactly ancient, there are still a lot of things that are available now that he hasn't covered. Much of what I found in his book, I also found in other places around the net.

Still, it's a nice resource to have for reference. Its nice to be able to flip through it and clarify a point that you werent quite sure about or whatever whatever. I reccomend picking it up.

Of course I've read it. It's like the bible of turbocharging. I used the formulas in the book to design my turbo system. Turbo selection, intercooler size, piping diameter, etc. Definatley a very good read.

Yeah I have read it completely about twice, but I'm always flipping through it and reading sections.

I just purchased the book...I kinda figured it would be a bit dated because the first time I heard about this book was awhile back ago when I was going to turbo charge the Mustang. Anyways...I have a lot to learn and I hope this book will help me out. Thanks guys for the replies.
