Turbocharging literature

Can some people recommend some good informative reading on the subject of turbocharging? I'm planning out a twin-turbo project, and I never jump into anything without reading up on it. Thanks

Corky Bell's "Maximum Boost" - you can find it at amazon.com or Barnes & Noble. Some real good reading there...

Turbochargers by Hugh MacInnes (HP Books) is a good book as well, it has a lot of Flow maps, and is more detailed in some areas than Corky Bell's book. It talks a lot about turbo carb applications as well.
