Just FYI, the turbine and compressor images were swapped in the description of the turbocharger anatomy.  Glad you plugged Corky Bell's Maximum Boost.  I've had that book for over a decade, bought it when I was in high school.

warshrike... oh jeez, don't remind us!!!

Seems we had a little mix up in during the layout/artwork phase of production but hopefully the descriptions allow readers to easily figure out that we swapped pictures by mistake.

Catastrophic mistake aside, did you find the article helpful?

Yeah, it was nice.  You guys broke down the overall system pretty well.  Looking forward to more progress on this subject in the future!

I'm gonna look into the other publications mentioned, hopefully that'll help me further in future projects with a boosted app.  Decoding compressor maps is a science and art in itself.  Knowledge is king in the performance industry though.

Part 2 and 3 should help you out the compressor maps, so make sure you stay tuned!

Also, Turbo; Real World High-Performance Turbocharger Systems by Jay K. Miller is a great reference and read, I highly suggest it.
