OK I guess this should really be in the main technical section but I only hang out in the Cento bit where most of the technical people seem to be.
I hope you guys think this is a good idea otherwise I guess it will just disapear into the ancient thread vault with no replies. :idea:
It would be great if you chaps were keen to share your books and technical links potentially saving people purchasing some lemons and finding the information they need more easily trying to make that perfect Cento.
Something like this or a close variation of, any changes welcome.

Stars:
I have quite a few books to add but I think it's best to do one book at a time.
I'll make a start here:
What did you read: Corky Bell's maximum boost
Covers: Turbo charging, management, basic tuning, turbo charging engine peripherals.
What did you think: Very informative and unusually entertaining for a technical book. Covers turbo charging very broadly but has most essential details including in depth sections on turbo selection, intercooler construction, multiple turbos etc. Engine management section is somewhat out of date. Don't take it all as gospel and some of it is very opinionated. You probably won't put it down until you've finished it!
Technical level: Very easy to read which will make it interesting to both beginner and the more experienced.
Would you recommend it: Yes undoubtedly, it's my favourite tuning book from a reading point of view, if not a bit opinionated and dated.
Stars: 4 (out of 5)
