Jay Miller's passion for turbos and turbo terminology is clearly revealed throughout this book. When introducing turbine housing and compressor cover nomenclature, he lets his readers know that, "...under no circumstances should either be called a snail!" Or when discussing turbine housing A/R ratios: "Many people call this an aspect ratio. I've never liked that term (it is incorrect). And development engineers don't use it. It's simply the A/R ratio."
True to the title of the book, Mr. Miller delivers a comprehensive turbo reference, and the chapters on turbo anatomy, manufacturers and nomenclature, maintenance and rebuilding, and failure analysis and troubleshooting are invaluable sources of pure turbo information. In addition, Mr. Miller emphasizes that the reason a turbo exists is to drive more air into the engine -- "...as a general rule, getting more fuel into an engine usually isn't the problem; getting enough air to burn it is." One of the book's strong suits is applying basic turbo knowledge to the relationship between turbos and the engines (diesel and gas) on which they're installed.
Turbo failure analysis and troubleshooting is of particular interest in the business I'm in, and the chapter devoted to this subject is among the most comprehensive sources I've ever found. As Mr. Miller notes, the objective is to teach a fundamental approach to failure analysis, "...so that corrective measures can be taken to avoid unnecessary repeats." The chapter continues with a step by step narration of the process of effective failure analysis and troubleshooting, including plenty of photographs of failed parts to complement the text.
