<VV> turbo

[FrankCB@aol.com]

Seth & Robert,
       Good info, but that excellent turbo reference book is by Hugh MacInnes 
and can also be titled simply "Turbochargers" (as in the HP Books edition 
that I have).  MacInnes also gives the compressor map for the Rayjay 300F turbo 
that is stock on the 180 Corsa.  He also has detailed engineering drawings for 
the 300F, a clear example of using the compressor map to calculate 
efficiencies/air flow rates if you make changes, and an entire chapter on Water Injection 
with a picture of Tom "They may be unsafe at some speed, I've only been to 
170 mph" Keosababian's Bonneville record setting Corvair.
       What more could you ask for?
