[s-cars] Turbo 101

[mlp]

Try Corkey Bell's "Maximum Boost" published by ??? and Hugh MacInnnes
"Turbocharges" published by HPBooks, both available via Amazon or Barnes &
Noble if your local favorite bookstore doesn't happen to have either in
stock.

On the web, take a look at Jeff Lucius stuff on the DSM site
www.3si.org/member-home/jlucius2/j2-2-turboguide.htm in particular.  Of
course there is also the ever reliable SJ Mockery,  www.sjmautotechnik.com ,
Audi specific site as well.

~Hi turbo fans.
~Im interested in learning as much as possible about the ins and outs of
~the turbo system on my 95.5.  Ive been following all these discussions
~re waste gates, bypass, intercoolers, chips, boost, flow restrictions
~etc. but im a little in the dark as to how all these components work
~together.  Im wondering if there are any resources which lay down the
~basics on this stuff.  Should I just break down and buy the Bentley
~manual?
~For example where can I find a basic "plumbing diagram" and discription
~of when and how turbo and waste gate work together etc.
~Also - ive been wondering how a simple stage 1 chip alone can gain you
~+/- 50 hp.  I subscribe to the law that you dont get something for
~nothing.  If its so simple why didn't the Audi engineers do it?  Whats
~the catch?
~Thanks
~AT
