RE: BOSCH fuel system books

[Jonas Karlsson <jkarlsso@metabolex.com>]

Well, I don't have the Ben Watson Book, but I do have the one by Pobst. 

I am very satisfied with paying the $24 that borders.com charged for it. 

Lemme go into detail:

The book covers both Pulsed Injection and CIS. For each system there is a 
thorough explanation of how it all works, the role of each part, etc. It 
starts with the basics and then goes into the nitty-gritty. Then there 
is a whole section on testing and trouble shooting. What tests to do and 
what the results indicate. 

Lastly there is a section on modifications. I've been too busy to study 
this part as much as I studied the "Fundamantals" section, but IMHO the 
explanations of the systems in the "fundamentals" section were good 
enough that I am in no big rush. With a strong understanding of how it 
all works, tweaking it for performance doesn't have to be spelled out. 

The book is excellent. 

Let me know if you need more info.
