What's a good book to help me build my turbo engine correctly? I know David vizard does a few books but it doesn't say they cover the A series turbo engine.

I'm not really sure if theres any tbh, but if you ask lots of questions on here you will always get good answers, don't worry about looking a wally if its a simple thing, best to ask than find out its wrong afterwards. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

The standard haynes manual will get you 99% of the way there then either ask or use the search button What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve

If its just torque settings and stuff just use a Haynes as lee suggests, if anything differs it will be on the product instructions

I have the Metro Haynes manual as it seems more comprehensive for engine & gearbox rebuild.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
