Have any of you read this book yet?
 
It's good, probably the best one out since Jeff Hartman's Turbocharging Performance Handbook. I got one cheap on Amazon for like $10 but the book itself is only $25 new. Well worth reading, srsly. O0

I can't tell what issue that is with that green ---- in the way.

Who cares about that book when you have this:

Bro I'm a surgical assistant and often scrub cardiac cases that have suture needles the size of hairs...it's intense ---- and I'm far from a loser. So in the future tits or GTFO, Jorshers got it. tool

EDIT: It's not an "issue" or a magazine, it's a book writen by Jay K Miller who is a well respected engineer in the diesel world, his thing, are turbos. It's probably the best book on turbos I have seen in years. I found it on amazon.com for like $16 too

I bet I have more going for me than you do.

Then again, I'm sure you know all of us well enough to call us losers.

You're the one selling the CRX. Who's the loser? Mine is still going 250,000 miles strong.

I smoke maybe once a week or month. I do plan on using it but it should stay relatively clean for a while. Not sure how I'll clean it when it does get dirty...I guess soak it in alcohol and use something abrasive like sand or salt.

A guy here makes them, see the thread "I got high off my turbo."

It's pretty thick glass. I don't think it'll be too fragile. I have owned thinner pipes that survived being dropped on cement.

Ah, I'm guessing that's the turbo book everyone said must be read. Obviously, I haven't read this book yet :(

I was thinkin' the same thing...I've seen the video he made, and it looks as though it smokes very well, but I'd seriously hate to tarnish it...I'ma blunt smoker anyways, but I may have to pick one up....
