High-Performance Diesel Builder's Guide (S-A Design
By David J. Chapel
This book is full of excellant info. It is on the technical side, but very thorough. You can tell who wrote it because of the products that are featured, but why not plug your product! Most of us doing high performance work on a diesel should have no problem figuring it out. This book is great if you plan any performance upgrades for you mill, from mild to wild. BUY IT!!!!

Medocre if you have any common knowledge about Diesels
By R. Roberto
While I really liked the direct input from one of the foremost experts in diesel engine performance, Gail Banks, the majority of this book was rehashed information available online or common knowledge from any one of hundreds of diesel truck forums. Sadly, there appears to be much better articles out there disproving alot of the suggested upgrades in here. In fairness, the common thought is to use the upgrades the author lists.
In reality, if you have a diesel truck and wish for more performance, save the money for this book and put it towards fuel - read the forums and join the make specific club/group - like Turbo Diesel Registry for Dodges. There are lots of guys running trucks with lots more power then you can imagine and doing it better ways, in many cases for much less then the suggested methods in here. Very disappointing but typical of a Motorbooks International title- they will publish anything!

No Volkswagen chapter
By DM
The Amazon review says that this book has a chapter on Volkswagen - but it defintely does not. Looks interesting if you are looking for truck info - but nothing there for VW!
